Seña – Aconcagua Valley – Red – 2019:

 

Seña: Chile’s Icon Wine – A World-Class Bordeaux Blend

Seña is the realization of a groundbreaking partnership between Chilean wine visionary Eduardo Chadwick and Napa Valley legend Robert Mondavi. Established in 1995, this biodynamically farmed Bordeaux-style blend from the Aconcagua Valley consistently challenges, and often defeats, the world’s most prestigious First Growths in blind tastings. It’s an investment in quality, power, and age-worthiness.

Tasting Notes (Expert Review)

• Color: Deep garnet-red with a vibrant, near-black core.
• Nose: Bold and layered with aromas of ripe blackcurrant, black cherry, and plum, beautifully integrated with complex notes of cedar, chocolate, baking spices, and a hint of mint.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated, yet remarkably elegant and pure. The structure is built on ultra-fine, polished tannins that provide an incredibly smooth, seamless texture. Vibrant acidity ensures lift and longevity.
• Finish: Persistent, savory, and complex, lingering with graphite, earth, and dark fruit.

Pairing & Service Recommendations

Decant for 60-90 minutes and serve at 62-65°F (17-18°C). This wine demands a rich, savory counterpart to balance its structure and intensity.

• Suggested Pairings: Prime Wagyu Ribeye, Beef Wellington, or a hearty venison loin.
