Aconcagua / Chile

Red

The 2010 Sena is more generous on the nose than the 2009, with crisp, ripe blackberry, boysenberry and graphite notes that are tightly coiled and, at the moment, not as expressive as the 2009. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. This is silky smooth in the mouth, harmonious and the oak is deftly interwoven into the structure. This is a sophisticated Sena. Drink 2014-2022.

He partnered with Robert Mondavi to craft a world-class Chilean wine. They spent four years finding the perfect site, eventually settling on the Aconcagua Valley. Here, 40km from the Pacific Ocean, they planted 42 hectares with Bordeaux varieties. The first vintage was 1995.
