Sena 2012 is a full-bodied Bordeaux-style red wine from the Aconcagua Valley 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 2012 is a blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Carménère, 12% Merlot, 7% Malbec and 6% Petit Verdot. The wine is matured for 22 months in two-thirds new French oak barrels. "A phenomenal red with aromas of blackberries, liquorice, sandalwood and hot stones that turns to cigar box and hints of sweet tea. Full body, incredible depth and concentration, yet there`s also agility and playfulness to this. Long, fascinating and balanced. It talks to you. The greatest Seña ever. (Winemaker and owner agree.) There`s wonderful purity and beauty." James Suckling 2017
