Chuck Wagner founded Caymus Vineyards with his parents in 1972 in Rutherford, California, in the centre of Napa Valley. Now Caymus is putting down roots in a neighbouring wine region called Suisun Valley. Only a 30-minute drive southeast of Napa, Suisun Valley is less well known than its more famous neighbour but shares a similar maritime climate and superb soils. Chuck likes to say that Suisun Valley reminds him of Napa Valley in the 1960s, full of open space, small family farms, meandering waterways lined with native oaks, and exceptional vineyards. Known more for its production of stone fruits, Suisun Valley is increasingly being recognized for its wines.For the past several years, Chuck has been producing Caymus-Suisun Grand Durif. Durif is synonymous with Petite Sirah, one of the varietals that thrive in Suisun Valley. Chuck feels privileged to include "Suisun"
