Tammi's Vineyard

2012 Suisun Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Aj Vineyards' Tammi's Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage is a remarkable expression of the Suisun Valley terroir. This red wine showcases a full-bodied character, complemented by a high level of acidity that brings brightness and liveliness to the palate. Its prominent fruit intensity is evident through luscious notes of dark cherry and blackberry, creating a delightful sweetness that harmonizes beautifully with the wine's structure. The tannins are notably firm yet surprisingly approachable, providing a solid backbone while allowing the intricate flavors to shine through. With a dry profile, this wine is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, making it an excellent choice for any occasion.

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
