Sena Red Blend 2018

In 1995, Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick pioneered one of Chile's first international joint ventures, a bold and forward-thinking move in those times. They set a very challenging goal: to reach Chile's wine country's full potential and create a truly world-class wine. These two distinguished traditional wine families shared a passion for excellence and innovation. Sharing their dream and dedication, in 1997, they released the first vintage of Sena (1995), one of Chile's first iconic wines, marking a milestone and initiating the path for making ultra-premium wines in Chile. Eduardo Chadwick searched alongside Robert Mondavi for four years before finding the ideal terroir in Chile's Valle de Aconcagua. Sena, the Chilean Bordeaux-blend, is the culmination of their vision, an expression of consummate quality and character.

Blend: 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 15% Carmenere, 7% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot

This very thoughtful Seña shows unique aromas of warm earth, mushrooms and conifer, turning to dark berries and black olives. The palate is more glamorous with ultra-fine tannins that envelop your palate. Shows power and vibrancy at the end. Toned muscles. It's a very intellectual wine that harkens back to 2015. Beautiful to try now, but better after 2023.
