Commemorating five years of working together, Folio Fine Wines will debut a new Canvas Pinot Noir in Spring 2013, complementing the widely popular Canvas Wine series that includes Canvas Pinot Grigio, Canvas Chardonnay, Canvas Merlot and Canvas Cabernet Sauvignon. Sourced from a rich tapestry of vineyards across California's growing regions, the 2011 Pinot Noir is brimming with bright red fruits of cherry, raspberry and plums, with a rich mouth-feel and a supple, plush finish.
“When crafting wines for the Canvas range, the Hyatt consumer is always top of mind, and this Pinot Noir brings the best of California’s growing regions in a wine style we believe the Hyatt consumer will enjoy, with the great quality they have come to expect from us,” said Rob Mondavi Jr., fourth generation winemaker and President of Winegrowing for Folio Fine Wine Partners.
Continued Steve Enselein, Vice President Catering and Convention Services, “With the Canvas Pinot Noir debut, the varietal will add to the functionality of the collection, and it will be a great complement to banquet and catering menus at large functions and events, a trademark of Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. Our event planners and customers have asked for a Pinot Noir and as a result of Hyatt’s industry leading relationship with Folio Fine Wine Partners, we are proud to introduce the new wine next spring.”
