Vinous Joaquin Hidalgo - 03 Aug 22
The 2015 Seña is the product of a warm, early ripening year. A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Carménère, 12% Malbec, 7% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc, it spent 22 months in two thirds new barrels or foudres (12%). Dark garnet red in the glass. The fruity, open nose offers notes of blackberry and blackcurrant with floral aromas, herbs and hints of ash and cedar. Juicy with a refined texture, a smooth feel and mild freshness, it’s complex in the mouth with well-defined flavor. A focused wine with a slightly herbal aftertaste.

Chile

Chile’s diverse geography – desert north, mountain spine, and coastal valleys – makes it a winemaker’s playground. From spicy Carménère to crisp Sauvignon Blanc, there’s a wealth of choice here. Newer regions like Limarí and Itata bring freshness and nuance, while Maipo and Colchagua deliver bold reds with classic poise. Chile continues to overdeliver, offering wines of quality and personality across the board.
