The Dobbes & Wine by Joe Team UPCOMING 2020 EVENTS Pinot in The City Houston World of Pinot Noir Pebble Beach Food & Wine Austin Food & Wine February 4th March 5th - 7th April 16th - 19th April 24th-26th DOBBESFAMILYESTATE.COM @DOBBESWINERY | WINEBYJOE.COM @WINEBYJOE FROM OUR DOBBES WINEMAKER CELLAR SEASON January, February & March, the coziest time of the year! “Cellar Season is a quieter time around the winery when our wines are resting easy in barrel after a fast-paced harvest season. But, the cellar work never ends. We’ve jumped right into preparing for a February bottling. We are working on blends with some beautiful, sunrise-hued rosés, particularly a premier Syrah, Pinot Noir and Grenache blend for Dobbes that celebrates our hybrid position of working with Rogue and Willamette Valley AVAs. Red wines and Chardonnay in barrel are in the midst of malolactic fermentation and once they’re complete, February and March will yield some time to review new oak trials and a provide an updated vision of vintage personality. Stay tuned!” Andy McVay Winemaker CLONAL VARIATION in Pinot Noir Out of 1,000 registered clones of Pinot in the world, below are some of the clones Andy McVay, our winemaker works closely with. Each is unique and adds diversity to our portfolio of wines. Dijon Clone 943: An underdog that is unusual but exceptional, with varying berry size, loose clusters, low yields, but achieves balance. Dijon Clone 777: Tends toward more tannin/structure, less abundantly fruity with flavors of leather, tobacco and earth. Dijon Clone 113: The most elegant of the Dijon clones, with perfumed aromatics and high toned fruits that make for pretty wines. Dijon Clone 114: This clone has small dark berries with compact clusters that make for dark fruited wines on the palate and aroma, with structure and tannin. Dijon Clone 115: Similar to 113 and 114, but I’ve seen these wines as more plush, fruit forward and simple wines, good young, but not as age-able. Dijon Clone 667: We tend to use 667 in whole cluster fermentations. On its own it can have fantastic balance between fruit/spice/body/structure. Dijon Clone 828: The color is more purple hued, tannins and body are weak but the aroma is slightly more floral than the rest of the Dijon family. Pommard: The most likely to be highlighted in single clone bottlings, particularly known for small berries, tight clusters and firm tannins resulting in deep dark expressions of Pinot Noir. Wadenswil: The historic/classic blending partner for Pommard that contributes the needed structure, depth and color. As a result, on its own, it can be brutish and lack elegance. DOBBESFAMILYESTATE.COM @DOBBESWINERY | WINEBYJOE.COM @WINEBYJOE IN THE PRESS CEO Gretchen Boock “Wine’s Most Inspiring People 2020: Driving Success with Commitment to People and Company Culture” January 8th, 2020 The Wine Industry Advisor chose ten people in North America to recognize as Wine’s Most Inspiring People of 2020. From a pool of visionaries from all backgrounds who brought their drive, ingenuity, and spirit to the industry, our very own CEO, Gretchen Boock was awarded with one of the prestigious titles of Wine’s Most Inspiring People of 2020. She has inspired so many with her approach to life, business and family. We are thrilled to celebrate Gretchen and the brands she has fostered since the beginning, in 2002. Dobbes Family Estate & Wine by Joe would not be the thriving culture we have today without her. “Talking with Gretchen Boock is like listening to a podcast at the 2x speed. “Rapid fire” is a term used repeatedly to describe this young CEO who motivates with compassionate leadership and “hammer in hand” collaborative work ethic.” “Gretchen leads with humility, recognizing her own strengths and weaknesses, and solves challenges collaboratively. She is transparent, people focused, and refreshingly fun.” “It has been inspiring to see how Gretchen puts the values of our organization into practice on a daily basis. Not only has she led her team to continued business growth and success, but she has done so while also prioritizing company culture and employee health and wellness, going beyond the call of duty to ensure her teams are fulfilled, valued, and advocated for.” READ GRETCHEN’S FULL STORY ONLINE AT: https://wineindustryadvisor.com/2020/01/08/inspiring-people-2020-driving-success-with-commitment DOBBESFAMILYESTATE.COM @DOBBESWINERY | WINEBYJOE.COM @WINEBYJOE NEW SCORES WINE BY JOE 90 POINTS 90 POINTS BEST BUY 2017 Pinot Gris 2018 Chardonnay Oregon Willamette Valley TRADE TOOLS now available to you on our trade sites DOBBES FAMILY ESTATE https://www.dobbesfamilyestate.com/tools-and-media/trade-tools/ WINE BY JOE https://www.winebyjoe.com/trade/ WILLAMETTE VALLEY FAMILY ESTATE AVA + SINGLE CHEHALEM MOUNTAINS AVA VINEYARD WINES QUAILHURST VINEYARD - Acres: 35 - Exposure: South & East - Clones: Dijon 113,777 & Pommard - Elevtation: 575 to 675 .

  • Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
    2017 WILLAMETTE VALLEY PINOT NOIR AVERÆN was born out of our love for cool climate Pinot Noir. Oregon’s Willamette Valley offers an ideal growing climate, where strong winds blow from the nearby Pacific Ocean, and the mix of ancient volcanic soils and marine sediments from a prehistoric ocean floor lend intense minerality and complexity to the Pinot Noir grapes grown on them. Simple sustainable farming, hands-off winemaking and a passion for Pinot Noir dictate our mission. Our vineyards span the Willamette’s sub-AVAs, enabling us to create a wine that is a true representation of the Valley as a whole – playing off each site’s specific personality and complementary nature to create a harmonious blend.

  • A GIS Analysis of the Viticultural Potential in the Rogue Valley of Oregon
    Modeling Viticultural Landscapes: A GIS Analysis of the Viticultural Potential in the Rogue Valley of Oregon La modélisation des paysages viticoles : Une analyse SIG du potentiel de la viticulture dans la Rogue Valley d'Oregon Gregory V. Jones1, Andrew A. Duff, and Joey W. Myers 1Department of Geography, Southern Oregon University 1250 Siskiyou Blvd Ashland, Oregon 97520, U.S.A. [email protected] Key Words: grapes, wine, viticulture, terroir, Oregon SUMMARY Terroir is a holistic concept that relates to both environmental and cultural factors that together influence the grape growing to wine production continuum. The physical factors that influence the process include matching a given grape variety to its ideal climate along with optimum site characteristics of elevation, slope, aspect, and soil. While some regions have had 100s and even 1000s of years to define, develop, and understand their best terroir, newer regions typically face a trial and error stage of finding the best variety and terroir match. This research facilitates the process by modeling the climate and landscape in a relatively young grape growing region in Oregon, the Rogue Valley. The result is an inventory of land suitability that provides both existing and new growers greater insight into the best terroirs of the region. INTRODUCTION Assessing a site’s physical characteristics is arguably the single most important process that any potential grape grower will encounter when starting out (Jones and Hellman, 2003). Combined with matching the site to a grape variety, this decision will ultimately affect the vineyard’s yield, the quality of the wine produced, and the vineyard’s long-term profitability (Wolf, 1997).

  • Umpqua Valley Wine History
    Umpqua Valley Location: Umpqua Valley AVA sits between the Coast Range to the west and the Cascade Range to the east, with the Willamette Valley AVA to the north and the Rogue Valley AVA to the south. Named for the legendary fishing river that runs nearby, the appellation stretches 65 miles from north to south, and is 25 miles from east to west. Wine history: The Umpqua Valley's winegrowing history dates back to the 1880s when German immigrants who had worked for the Beringer Bros., the oldest continuously operating vineyard in Napa, planted the first wine grape vineyard in the Valley. Post-prohibition, Richard Sommer established Hillcrest Vineyards near Roseburg in 1961. He was the first to plan Pinot noir in Oregon despite being told by his California (Davis) cohorts that it was impossible to successfully grow wine grapes in Oregon. Obviously, they were wrong. Just eight years later, in 1969, Paul Bjelland of Bjelland Vineyards founded the Oregon Winegrowers Association in the Umpqua Valley. During the 1970s new wineries opened, including Henry Estate Winery, whose winemaker Scott Henry developed a now world-famous trellis system, which increases grape yield, among other benefits. The Umpqua Valley appellation continues to evolve as new winemakers discover the area, bringing with them a passion for innovation and world- class wine.
