Dawn's Dream Winery offers several Pinot Noir selections, each with a distinct flavor profile and tasting experience. The 2016 Alyssa Pinot Noir pulls you in with incredible aromas of red raspberry and ripe plum. I thought originally this was going to be a very delicate wine, but the fruit forward flavors of the berries, sweet cherries and orange gumdrop create a wine that holds it's own and finishes very strong. It's bright and as smooth as glass. This wine is drinking beautifully and would compliment a grilled duck breast with risotto and asparagus.
