Camille Dauntless is a bold red blend that celebrates the strength, power, and fierce tenderness of motherhood. Crafted in Washington State, this wine draws from three of the region’s most lauded appellations: Horse Heaven Hills, Red Mountain, and Walla Walla.
Together, these AVAs produce wines known for profound richness, structure, and intensity, making them the perfect foundation for a Camille release that is both commanding and deeply meaningful.
Camille Dauntless
These regions sit within the greater Columbia Valley, a landscape with its own spirit of adventure and resilience. It was famously explored by Lewis and Clark with the help of their dauntless guide and interpreter, Sacagawea. A Shoshone woman traveling with her infant son, she proved essential to the expedition in countless ways, from finding edible plants and crafting clothing to calming tensions with approaching tribes. Her presence, a woman and child alongside a group of men, signaled peaceful intentions and helped keep the journey moving forward. Camille Dauntless honors that legacy and the timeless truth it represents: motherhood is one of the most powerful forms of bravery.
The label brings this story to life through rich symbolism. A Shoshone woman stands at the center, set against a background of traditional Shoshone textile print. In her hair, Wood Sorrel symbolizes maternal tenderness, while Hydrangea blossoms form a halo representing gratitude, grace, and beauty. And in true Camille fashion, there is a hidden wine inspired easter egg: grapes embroidered on her poncho, a subtle nod to the vineyard and to the layered storytelling behind every label. The back label features Maya Angelou’s unforgettable words: “To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power. Or the climbing, falling colors of a rainbow.”
In the glass, Camille Dauntless is built like its namesake: strong, layered, and unapologetically expressive. Anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon, the blend is 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 13% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Syrah, and 2% Petite Sirah. Rich and structured with depth and dimension, this is a wine meant to stand tall, a fitting tribute to the women who do the same every day.
