2022 Innovation Series: Base Camp

Our Innovation Series introduces unbridled winemaking curiosity and technical exploration into our classic lineup. Each new vintage provides an opportunity to explore different varietals, different techniques, and bend the traditional winemaking rules. These small batch experiments are adorned with original artwork each vintage.

Fresh, zingy, and floral, Base Camp is a preview to our méthode champenoise wine program. Made from 100% Pinot Noir in a Blanc de Noir style, this wine offers an insight to this unique winemaking process and the opportunity to experience the wine’s delightful aromatics and texture prior to the final, bubbleimbuing fermentation stage.

The nose is intense, with bounding aromas of gummy rings and banana Laughy taffy. The palate has an electric Sweetart attack then transitions into a surprisingly creamy and round joy-bomb.
