Fogolar Wines – 2021 Cabernet Franc
The Columbus Blue Jackets might be slowly turning into America’s team. The team may not have the historical significance of Detroit or the Canadian-esque culture of Minnesota, but, they are a team that has started to leverage American-born talent. It is easy to point the finger at Johnny Gaudreau as the American player attracting the most popularity, but you can’t overlook the importance of Columbus born players Cole Sillinger and Jack Roslovic
Cabernet Franc is similar to the Blue Jackets in that it is slowly increasing in popularity. It may not be as popular as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, however it can be just as effective to capture the essence of a specific area and that is exactly what both Fogolar Wines and the Columbus Blue Jackets are doing.

Wine Description
As a parent grape of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, Cabernet Franc has been increasing in its popularity in the extreme winemaking regions of Canada, showing consistent ripening potential year in and year out while also capable of making rich, textured, and elegant wines. Cabernet Franc is expressive of its growing conditions, making for an ideal candidate of showcasing the vast differences in terroir amongst red wines.
