"Really racy, with mouthwatering acidity carrying the delicious blackberry, cassis and raspberry fruit. Streaks of graphite and spice cut in on the finish."

"Aromas of dark cherries and tobacco lead to a medium body of mixed berries, plum, spice box and tobacco. The finish isn't lengthy, but it has a pleasant mouthfeel and soft tannins. This one isn't for the cellar, but it's a fun wine from an unexpected place: the Shawnee Hills of Illinois. The Blue Sky Cab Franc may be the biggest jewel in the crown of Midwestern wines." - Trey Johnson, Binny's Champaign

"This sexy, uber-elegant Cabernet Franc shows the stunning heights this grape can attain! It combines a core of luscious blackberry, black cherry, and plum with expressive notes of cinnamon, tobacco, coffee, and spice. Silky tannins caress the palate, and hints of dark chocolate and a great minerality. This wine has a long and supple finish."
