Viña Seña 2011 is a mature, medium-to-full-bodied Bordeaux-style blend from the Aconcagua region of Chile. Viña Seña was established as a collaborative project between Edouardo Chadwick of Viña Errázuriz and Robert Mondavi. Its goal was to produce a Bordeaux-style blend with a distinctively Chilean character (provided by the inclusion of Carmenere in the blend).The 2011 vintage is a blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Carmenere, 15% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot and 5% Cabernet Franc. The wine was aged in 75% new French oak barrels for 22 months. "It has a bright cherry colour and restrained aromas of blackberries, spices, cedar wood, tobacco and a hint of mint. The palate is a little tight and restrained, and the wine medium-bodied, with balanced concentration and good acidity. Young but accessible, it shows great elegance and balance. I like it more than the older vintages that I had the chance to taste for context. It needs to develop the bouquet and complexity that, without a doubt, will come with time in bottle. Drink 2015-2027." Luis Gutierrez, 2014
