The 1998 Zinfandel Big River's saturated ruby/purple color is accompanied by ground pepper, briery fruit, underbrush, and sweet red and black currant aromas. In the mouth, notes of lavender and dried herbs give the wine a Mediterranean-like personality. Dense, chewy, and concentrated, this ripe but balanced Zinfandel should drink well for 5-7 years. Tel.
