Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2019 Seña was produced with a Bordeaux blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and 4% Petit Verdot with the Chilean character of the high percentage of Carmenere. Most of the volume fermented in stainless steel with some 10% in concrete vats, and the final blend matured for 22 months in French oak barrels, 80% of them new, and 10% in Stockinger vats. It's 13.5% alcohol and has good acidity and freshness, coming through as medium-bodied, elegant and balanced. This is incredibly elegant, subtle and harmonious even at this early stage. It has floral aromas, notes of orange peel, a touch of creamy sweet spices and great freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, seamless and pure, with pungent flavors and a soft texture. It's long, clean, defined and super tasty. I feel this wine is getting better and better by the vintage. The grapes were picked quite early, and that helped to contain the ripeness and seems to have been a great decision. There was also an exception in the Panquehue zone where the Seña vines are, where the summer was cooler than the average, so quite different to many other regions in Chile.

James Suckling
Such beautiful aromas of crushed berries, currants, walnuts, allspice and nutmeg follow through to a full body with tight, ultra fine tannins that provide length and intensity. A finish of slightly dried cherries with wet earth, slate and stone. Chewy and fine-grained. A wine with soul and length. Give it time. Drink after 2025.

Seña is the culmination of a vision shared by two traditional wine families that tied together their dreams and efforts to give life to Chile’s first Icon wine.
In 1995, the leader of the Napa Valley wine industry, Robert Mondavi, and the President of Viña Errázuriz Eduardo Chadwick, embarked upon the Chilean wine industry’ first strategic alliance to create a unique wine that would capture the essence of the grape and the spirit of the land. They named it Seña, as a sign to the world that Chile was able to produce a truly great, world-class wine.
Pairing their innovative spirits and passion for excellence, they searched for four years to find the perfect terroir before finally discovering the hillsides in Ocoa in the Aconcagua Valley, only 40 km from the Pacific Ocean. In 1997 they launched Seña 1995, a unique Bordeaux-style red blend with a very Chilean soul given by its Carmenere variety, grown under biodynamic principles.
This first Icon wine was a milestone in Chile’s history and would forge the way for the emergence of other Ultra-Premium wines in the country helping Chile to be recognized among the world-class appellations
