Camp Wines were created by the Hobo Wine Co. in 2011 to showcase the quality and value of Sonoma County wine. We work with top growers and vineyard managers in very high quality and responsibly farmed, though lesser known, vineyards throughout Sonoma County to produce delicious, approachable, and affordable wines.
Like Hobo, the Camp wines employ native yeasts and malolactic bacterias for the primary and secondary fermentations without the use of commercial fermentation aids or additives. The wines are aged in real oak barrels and/or stainless steel tanks vs. alternatives or flavoring agents.
The 2020 is 63% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Gusto Vineyard (certified organic) in Redwood Valley, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Trieb Vineyard (organic) in Alexander Valley, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Prior Vineyard (certified organic) in Sonoma Valley, and 13% Merlot from Mojon’s Bench (organic) in Alexnder Valley, All lots were fermented in stainless steel with a minimal 1-2 punchdowns or pumpovers per day and aged 13 months in neutral French oak barrels. Due to the fires in 2020, many of the Camp vineyards were not harvested and hence production is quite below normal. What is here does represent the best of the best in a very difficult vintage.
