Wagner Family of Wine encompasses a group of California-based wine brands, including Caymus, Conundrum, Mer Soleil, Emmolo, and Red Schooner, all produced within Rutherford and surrounding regions. The company traces its roots to Caymus Vineyards, founded in Rutherford, Napa Valley, more than four decades ago by Chuck Wagner and his parents, Charlie and Lorna Wagner, and continues to operate with multiple family-led winemaking initiatives across its brands. Its portfolio reflects a focus on premium wines sourced from premier California winegrowing areas and beyond, with each label offering a distinct style—Caymus producing Cabernet Sauvignon, Mer Soleil Chardonnay, Conundrum with a broader range including red, white, sparkling, and rosé, Emmolo Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc, and Red Schooner a Malbec crafted in the Caymus tradition from high-altitude grapes. The company positions itself in the beverage manufacturing industry as a family-driven producer of consistently high-quality wines, serving consumers seeking refined, expressive wines from well-regarded California regions. Based in Rutherford, California, the organization maintains a relatively smaller scale in terms of workforce while managing a diversified wine portfolio across its brands. A recent development noted is the introduction of Red Schooner as a new expression that expands the lineup with a Malbec grown in the Andes, shipped to Napa Valley for production.
