Akrasia Cellars Line of Fire Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford, USA 2017 Margaux de Brane Cantenac The top-shelf red from the2017 was another excellent vintage for Northern California. Warm days and cool nights yielded wines with ripe flavors, ample structure and vibrant acidity. This is a full bodied Cabernet with plenty of grip and strength and is built for aging but is already wonderfully approachable. It has a complex palate of dark fruits, black cherry and spice with wonderful aromas of blackberries, butterscotch and anis.
