 Oregon
is rapidly becoming known as one of the great Pinot Blanc producing
areas in the world and Stephen Cary is one of the great practitioners
of the art of turning this relatively little known grape variety
into great wine. When we founded Fish Hook Vineyards we had three
basic goals. First, we wanted to make really good wine that shows
the true fruit character of the grapes and the subtle mineral qualities
of the vineyard and is a great match with seafood. Second, we thought
it would be a good idea to make just a little bit of money to support
our bad habits (fishing) and have some fun doing it. And third,
we wanted to do some good with some of the profits and tie it all
in with our passion for fishing and the sea. Hence, Fish Hook Vineyards,
the Striper on the label and our involvement with The Ocean Conservancy.
Our wine is estate-bottled. The grapes come from a sustainably-farmed
single vineyard in the McMinnville AVA in the Willamette Valley.
The 2007 Pinot Blanc is 85% stainless steel fermented and 15% barrel
fermented. The barrels we use are neutral, so there are no oak aromas
or flavors evident in the wine. It’s clean and crisp and shows
a lot of mineral quality both in the nose and on the palate.
