Sena Cabernet Malbec Carmenère 2018

Chile’s answer to first-growth Bordeaux, Viña Seña is one of the country’s most sought-after wines. In his reviews and commentary on the wine, James Suckling has played a significant role in highlighting Viña Seña’s credentials as world-class. While comparisons to Mouton Rothschild or Harlan can and have (again, Suckling) been made, one of the more interesting features of this wine is how well it drinks when young. For a Cabernet-based blend in this class, Viña Seña leaps out of the gate, showing cassis and fresh blueberries. The 2018 vintage at Seña was hailed as one of the best, with near-perfect climatic conditions. It is a Bordeaux blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 15% Carmenère, 7% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.  The grapes were fermented in a combination of stainless steel and concrete vats and matured in new barriques and Stockinger foudres for 22 months.
