Fogolar Wines, 2020 Picone Vineyard Cabernet Franc
The Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup in 2018, since then the organization has seemed to focus in on one objective – position Alexander Ovechkin to break Wayne Gretzky’s All-Time Goal record of 894. This year’s Capitals team pairing is focused on Ovechkin’s quest to become the league’s all-time goal scorer, which is why selecting a Cabernet Franc from Fogolar Wines works so well.
Fogolar is determined to make Cabernet Franc the top choice of wine drinkers in Ontario. Wine maker Mark Pistor of Fogolar believes that Cabernet Franc showcases the unique terroir of Canada better than any other grape.
Alex Ovechkin heads into the 2023-24 season with 822 goals. The record won’t be broken this year, but he will get closer and the Fogolar 2020 Picone Vineyard Cabernet Franc is the wine to enjoy while watching him try.

Wine Description
This single vineyard Cabernet Franc comes from the Picone Vineyard, located atop the edge of the Niagara Escarpment in the Vinemount Ridge subappellation.
This deep, inky purple Cabernet Franc has jammy aromas of blackberry and blueberry jams, pepper, smoked meat, and hints of vanilla and baking spices. Massive on the palate with intense length and rich, dense, chewy tannins with jam, cocoa, and coffee flavours.
