2024 Caymus Suisun The Walking Fool Red Blend, Suisun Valley
This red wine blend is produced from Suisun Valley, a remarkable AVA that has become the Wagner family’s second home. A 30-minute drive from Napa, Suisun has ideal soils and climate for a variety of grapes. The Walking Fool is named after a long-ago relative who was often seen traveling by foot – thus earning this affectionate moniker. Featuring Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, this wine is smooth and lively, with juicy raspberry, notes of espresso and softly fine tannins.
Suisun Valley shares a remarkably similar maritime climate, influenced by San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. Warm days and cool nights provide ideal conditions for a variety of grapes.
The region’s richer soils are especially conducive to farming top-quality Petite Sirah, but other varietals also thrive, including Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. Many believe the soils of Suisun Valley impart special flavor characteristics in the fruits and vegetables grown here and the wines produced.

Separated from Napa by just an invisible county line, Suisun Valley became an AVA in 1982, just one year after its famous neighbor. Yet this exceptional wine region remains largely undiscovered. The Wagner family was quickly drawn in by its pastoral beauty, small family farms, and high-quality fruit. This special landscape is legally protected by an agricultural preserve.
The family’s excitement has led them to farm grapes in Suisun and create a new wine label, Caymus-Suisun. Now – 50 years after founding Caymus Vineyards – the Wagners have opened Caymus-Suisun Winery.

@daviator This wine probably won’t appeal to the AFWE crowd, but, although I haven’t had this one, all Caymus wines (Caymus Napa, Transit, Red Schooner…even California) are smooth, fruit-forward and over the top. I’d bet this one is delicious; can’t get much better than a PS/Zin blend!

No reviews of the 2024, but the CellarTracker reviews on the 2023 have scared me off.

@daviator @FritzCat Are you buying?
@daviator @hscottk No. Not a killer deal…and other factors.
@daviator @FritzCat @hscottk good decision ha!
@FritzCat @hscottk Nah. I would probably like it, but it’s not enough of a bargain to get me to order, my wine stock is beyond full already.
Not a great discount vs stores here.
@netcommsyn agree. Total wine near me has it for a couple bucks more per bottle for a six pack.
@netcommsyn @ryannel This is not a deal at all unless you don’t live in an urban area? Total Wine next to me has 6 for $27.89 each.
