Natalie's Score: 92/100

The 2022 Caymus-Suisun The Walking Fool Red Blend is a whimsical dance of flavours, perfectly balanced and utterly enchanting. In the glass, it reveals a vibrant ruby colour, inviting you to explore its aromatic depth. The nose is an exuberant mix of ripe red cherries, dark plums, and wild strawberries, mingling with hints of black tea, anise, and a touch of smoky oak. The tannins are silky and well-integrated, offering a smooth texture that complements the wine’s lively acidity. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of spiced berries and a whisper of vanilla. Try this wine with a mushroom and gruyère tart, where the earthy mushrooms and creamy cheese enhance the blend’s complex, earthy undertones.

Red Blend food pairings: cheesy pizza, pork tenderloin, veal cutlets.

Reviews and Ratings

From the Wagner Family of Wine, Caymus-Suisun 2022 The Walking Fool Red Blend is a tasty red wine blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah, smooth and juicy with bright raspberry, espresso and vanilla flavours framed by fine-grained, supple tannins. A new addition to the Wagner Family of Wine, produced with grapes sourced from Suisun Valley with soils and a climate perfect for growing a variety of grapes. The Walking Fool is so named after a relative who mostly travelled everywhere by foot. Drinking beautifully now through 2028. - Community Wine Reviews

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
