The 1998 Zinfandel Chiles Valley possesses a dark ruby color with light pink at the edge. An elegant black cherry and spicy-scented nose is followed by medium-bodied, ripe, lightly concentrated flavors. This well-balanced 1998 resembles a premier cru Cote de Beaune. Nicely integrated acidity, wood, and tannin provide a seamless impression in this lighter, finesse-styled wine. Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (707) 965-2346
