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.
