Sena 2013, presented here in magnum format, is a Bordeaux-style blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Carmenère, 8% Malbec and 7% Petit Verdot, sourced from the Aconcagua Valley in Chile. Aromas include black fruits, herbs and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it displays a robust structure with firm tannins and good acidity. The wine benefits from a lengthy ageing process, allowing flavours to evolve and integrate slowly over time. Sena is a collaboration between Eduardo Chadwick of Viña Errázuriz and Robert Mondavi, with Michel Rolland as consultant.

The 2013 Seña might very well be their finest vintage to date. 2013 was a cool vintage that favored fresh flavors and elegant and pure wines full of nuances. At Viña Seña, they took advantage of the natural conditions and produced a stunning blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carménère, 12% Malbec, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, sourced from their 42 hectares of vineyards planted some 16 years ago in the Aconcagua Valley. The varietal mix has been fine tuned and the oak has also been gradually reduced during the last few years. The process was pretty straightforward, fermentation in stainless steel and aging in French oak barrels (75% of them new) for 22 months. It has a subtle nose with aromas of red and black fruit denoting very good freshness, and the classical tobacco and cracked peppercorns, with the oak nicely integrated adding some spices and faint smoky aromas. The red fruit is remarkable and really adds freshness. Linear, juicy, sharp and long, very tasty and with very fine, slightly grainy tannins. There is superb balance, classical proportion and symmetry. I have not tasted all of the vintages of Seña (one day...), but out of all the years I've tried, this is certainly the best. I'm sure this will bloom in bottle and will have a long development. 60,000 bottles were filled.Luis Gutierrez31st December 2015

The 2013 Seña is the product of an ideal year in terms of temperature and yields. A blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carménère, 12% Malbec, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot aged for 22 months in three-quarters new French barrels. Garnet red in hue. A subtle nose of blackcurrant, herbs and clear hints of plum are all enhanced and clarified by a layer of mint. A well-defined wine in the mouth with fruity flavors and refined tannins that channel the flow with a little grip, the freshness keeps things lively at the end.Joaquin Hidalgo3rd August 2022
