Wine of the Month
Dalliance Red Blend, Lake County

The Wine of the Month from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits is Dalliance from Shannon Ridge in Lake County, California. To give it complexity, this wine was aged in French and American oak. The blend of red varietals - Zinfandel, Barbera, Syrah, Temprnillo and Grenache - results in a wine described as "rich, elegant, with soft tannins, nice balance and a lush finish." Aromas and flavors of ripe cherries, blackberries, boysenberries and a touch of vanilla oak make it a great value at under $15. Open a bottle, and see how a little Dalliance can make for an exquisite ending to any day.
