Caymus- Suisun Valley The Walking Fool - Red Blend 750ml

From the Wagner family—the winemakers behind Caymus—comes The Walking Fool, a bold yet beautifully approachable red blend from Suisun Valley, California. Crafted by Jenny Wagner as a tribute to her great-great-grandfather (nicknamed “The Walking Fool” for his long journeys on foot), this wine captures both heritage and heart, offering a taste of adventure in every glass.

Blending Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, it showcases Caymus’ signature style: rich, fruit-driven, and impeccably balanced. Aged for 12 months in a combination of new and neutral French and American oak, this wine delivers layers of ripe fruit, smooth texture, and a refined finish that make it as versatile as it is memorable.
