Wagner Family of Wine (Caymus, Conundrum, Mer Soleil, Emmolo & Red Schooner) Information

The Wagner family is proud to showcase a collection of wines that have earned a reputation for quality and consistency, sourced from premier winegrowing regions of California and beyond. It’s been over 45 years since Chuck Wagner, along with his parents, Charlie and Lorna Wagner, founded Caymus Vineyards in Rutherford, Napa Valley. Chuck continues to make two world-renowned Cabernet Sauvignons under the Caymus label from Napa Valley. His older son, Charlie, produces coastal Mer Soleil Chardonnays and is Director of Winemaking for Conundrum, which now includes four wines – a red, white, sparkling and rosé. Charlie’s latest endeavor is Red Schooner, a rich dark Malbec made from grapes grown in the Andes Mountains, shipped chilled to Napa Valley and produced in the supple Caymus style. Older daughter Jenny is winemaker for Emmolo Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc from Napa Valley. Both of her wines offer a fresh take on these varietals, with a style not typically expected from their production in California.
