The Story

Seña 2019 is an exceptionally structured, elegant, and masterfully balanced icon Chilean red blend, celebrating the landmark 25th anniversary vintage of this historic estate. Sourced from the unique hillside biodynamic vineyards of Panquehue in the Aconcagua Valley, this magnificent vintage was shaped by a cooler than average summer, allowing for a long, gentle hang-time that yielded immense flavor complexity. It displays a deep, brilliant ruby-red color with vibrant purple highlights, uncoiling with a sophisticated, multilayered bouquet of fresh blueberries, cassis, and orange peel, seamlessly layered with floral suggestions of violets alongside sweet tobacco, cedar wood, and Madagascar vanilla. On the palate, it exhibits a medium to full-bodied framework driven by a remarkably pure, energetic core of dark forest fruits and blueberry pie, beautifully pinned by a fine vein of refreshing natural acidity and tight, ultra-fine, silky tannins before tapering into an endlessly rich, savory, and sophisticated finish with a lingering chalky and mineral-filled persistence.

Food Pairing: Pairs spectacularly with charcoal-grilled dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted venison loin with a juniper reduction, or rosemary-crusted rack of lamb.

98 Points -

Such beautiful aromas of crushed berries, currants, walnuts, allspice and nutmeg follow through to a full body with tight, ultra fine tannins that provide length and intensity. A finish of slightly dried cherries with wet earth, slate and stone. Chewy and fine-grained. A wine with soul and length. Give it time. Drink after 2025.

98 Points -

The 2019 Seña was produced with a Bordeaux blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and 4% Petit Verdot with the Chilean character of the high percentage of Carmenere. Most of the volume fermented in stainless steel with some 10% in concrete vats, and the final blend matured for 22 months in French oak barrels, 80% of them new, and 10% in Stockinger vats. It's 13.5% alcohol and has good acidity and freshness, coming through as medium-bodied, elegant and balanced. This is incredibly elegant, subtle and harmonious even at this early stage. It has floral aromas, notes of orange peel, a touch of creamy sweet spices and great freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, seamless and pure, with pungent flavors and a soft texture. It's long, clean, defined and super tasty. I feel this wine is getting better and better by the vintage. The grapes were picked quite early, and that helped to contain the ripeness and seems to have been a great decision. There was also an exception in the Panquehue zone where the Seña vines are, where the summer was cooler than the average, so quite different to many other regions in Chile.

93 Points -

Boasts vibrant red cherry and berry flavors, which are well-knit and bear a minerally richness. The juicy finish features accents of dried green herbs and is supported by engaging tannins. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carmenère and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2024.
