Seña
About Seña
Seña began as a joint venture in 1995 between Vina Errazuriz and Robert Mondavi. The two partners searched for four years before settling on a single vineyard with a unique micro-climate in the heart of Chile’s Aconcagua Valley. The Seña vineyards are only 40km from the Pacific Ocean, giving the terroir a crucial maritime influence. The lower median temperatures produce balanced acidity and an elegant and finessed wine. Most of the farming here is biodynamic.

Vinous (92)(57% cabernet sauvignon, 20% carmenere, 10% merlot, 8% petit verdot and 5% cabernet franc) Ruby-red. Musky redcurrant, cherry, spicecake and rose oil on the seductively perfumed nose. Silky, suave and fine-grained, in a distinctly elegant style. Red fruit and spice notes are complemented by a touch of bitter chocolate. The racy, dry, palate-staining finish shows full ripeness yet the wine comes off weightless. I'd bet on it rewarding at least another six or seven years of cellaring. |
