Built on ripe Cabernet fruit, Sena 2012 shows cassis, plum and dark cherry layered with cedar, tobacco and a gentle roasted spice from oak. The palate feels full and polished rather than heavy, with smooth tannins, fresh lift and a warm-year richness that makes it appealing now, even if it has developed faster than the best long-haul vintages.

Seña is Chile’s first modern “icon” wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon–based Bordeaux-style blend with a distinctly Chilean soul from its Carmenère, grown biodynamically on volcanic, gravelly slopes in the Aconcagua Valley about 40 km from the Pacific Ocean. Created in 1995 as a joint venture between Eduardo Chadwick of Viña Errázuriz and Robert Mondavi, it is crafted to express both ripe Andean fruit and coastal freshness, producing complex, ageworthy reds that regularly earn top international critical acclaim.
