The Walking Fool Red Wine Blend

Background
When we started producing Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif, we told ourselves that "the wine would have to be great or would not bear the Caymus name." Grapes from Suisun Valley have exceeded our highest expectations. Durif is synonymous with Petite Sirah - we added "grand" to the name for this wine's luxurious softness. We also introduced Caymus-Suisun's 'The Walking Fool' Red Blend, produced by Jenny Wagner. It is named after Jenny's great-great-grandfather, Johannes Glos, who came to Napa Valley in the 1880s and often traveled by foot, thus earning his affectionate nickname. This wine has a vibrant character (much like we imagine the man himself), featuring Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.

Wine Description
This red wine blend is produced from Suisun Valley fruit, 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 soft, fine tannins.
