Wine Critic Reviews
Extremely bright flowers and citrus with graphite, currants and blueberries. The nose is like going into a flower shop. Medium- to full-bodied with extremely polished tannins that caress your palate. Firm at the finish, which tells you that there is plenty coming in the future. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% malbec, 9% carmenere, 6% petit verdot. Try after 2028, but already open and enticing.

The 2022 Seña enters on a reticent note, quietly opening up to reveal a dark, leather-bound nose with hints of turned earth, cedar, licorice and graphite accents that manage a levity and high-toned energy. The palate is lively and spry, driven by bright treble tones balanced with weighty, broad depth and a perfectly suave texture. The finish is juicy yet tense, structured and refined, with impressive length and coiled energy. Ever-expanding in the glass, this is a gorgeous, energetic and exuberant example of poise and clarity that should be a pleasure to follow in the cellar. It's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 9% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot aged 18 months mainly in French barrique with some foudre.

The 2022 Seña is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 9% Carménère and 6% Petit Verdot, sourced from the Seña vineyard in Ocoa, Aconcagua Valley. Aged for 20 months, 85% in French oak barrels (66% new) and 15% in foudres, this garnet wine offers a garrigue-like aroma with notes of raspberry, blackberry and flowers over a deep cedar core. Dry and juicy on the palate, the grippy and plush tannins lead to a flavorful and balanced mouthfeel. Compared to other Seña vintages, the 2022 is more intense and nuanced.

Unremarked by some, Seña has totally changed style over the last decade and is now a more elegant, nuanced and complete wine, even in a very dry vintage like 2022. Based on Cabernet Sauvignon with a chorus of 25% Malbec, 9% Carmenère and 6% Petit Verdot, this benefitted from early picking to preserve vivacity and freshness. Adroitly wooded in 85% new barrels, it has subtle Asian spice and dried herb aromas, a waft of graphite and tarragon, bramble, red cherry and blackcurrant leaf flavours, more tannic grip than you think at first and supporting natural acidity.

Liqourice, aniseed, fennel, cocoa bean, intense and powerful, reflecting a good quality vintage with low rainfall but few excess temperatures. Harvest August 5 to 23, 70% new oak barrels for ageing, along with 10% 2,500l oak casks. Emily Faulconer winemaker, heading over from Vina Carmen.
