Derek Einberger makes some beautiful wines for Dobbes.

Dobbes Family Estate

May 23, 2024

Today we present one of the mainstay Oregon houses, founded by Joe Dobbes. For many years Dobbes established himself as a leading figure in Oregon wine. Founding Dobbes Family Estate and Wine By Joe, he ushered in an era of innovation and risk-taking in the Willamette Valley. The Wine By Joe brand has done particularly well, consistently offering serious bang for your buck.

After fifteen years at the helm of Dobbes and Wine By Joe, Joe has transitioned to a new chapter, founding Iterum Wines alongside his wife Patricia, to focus on organic winemaking. The new wines by Dobbes were really good across the board. I love the new 2021 Dobbes ‘Dundee Hills Cuvee’ Pinot Noir (OB, 92) which is already drinking marvelously. Learn more at https://dobbesfamilywinery.com and here are my reviews of the new Dobbes wines.

2021 Dobbes Family Estate ‘Dundee Hills Cuvee’ Pinot Noir- The outstanding 2021 Dobbes Family Estate ‘Dundee Hills Cuvee’ Pinot Noir delivers bright raspberry and bing cherry notes on the nose with dusty soils and red rose petal notes. The palate is soft and refined with a silky texture and good sense of weight, with salty soil accents. Drink 2024-2032- 92

2021 Dobbes Family Estate ‘Three Pillars Cuvee’ Pinot Noir- Brimming with both tension and richness, the 2021 Dobbes Family Estate ‘Three Pillars Cuvee’ Pinot Noir delivers damp earthy and wild mushroom tones on the palate, with refined tannins and black raspberry tones. Soft and generous, enjoy now and over the next eight plus years. Drink 2024-2032- 92

2021 Dobbes Family Estate ‘Amelia Rose Cuvee’ Pinot Noir- The 2021 Dobbes Family Estate ‘Amelia Rose Cuvee’ Pinot Noir offers bergamot and red floral on the nose, woven together with a pretty core of bright red fruits. The palate is fresh and lithe with bright verve and ripe pomegranate, red cherry and orange zest flavors. Drink 2024-2032- 92
