Product Description
99 Points in James Suckling - "Superb aromas of black currants, rose petal and mint. Lavender and stones too. Full body with incredible fruit density. Complex, yet it's agile and bright. Tannins are perfectly polished. It builds on the palate and shows the structure of a first growth Bordeaux but remains so Chilean. A blend of 58% cabernet sauvignon, 15% carmenere, 12% malbec, 10% merlot, and 5% petit verdot. From biodynamically grown grapes. This is a joy to taste now but it will show itself in 2019. Even better than the amazing 2012."

WINEMAKER’S NOTES
A moderately warm season and a lack of rainfall across the country during the ripening period led to obtaining very healthy grapes, which also were able to reach optimal ripeness and fruit concentration. In order to uphold Seña’s renowned style of elegance, finesse and freshness, special attention was paid this season to the water management aiming to prevent all stress in the vineyard, and a somewhat early harvest was carried out, while carefully ensuring the tannins were adequately ripe and smooth. I feel we achieved one of the most surprising results ever in a Seña wine this vintage, in terms of quality—a perfect blend between structure, persistence and roundness alongside freshness, balance and intensity.
