1996 | Vina Sena | Sena

Impressive marriage of polish and grip. This firm red shows mouthfilling fruit, with notes of cassis, blackberry and plum, backed by vanilla and toasty oak notes, brightened by clean, fresh acidity and given a firm backbone of ripe, clean tannins.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: The 1996 Sena has a perfumed bouquet of red berry fruit, balsam and cedar that is sedate and composed. The palate is medium-bodied with chalky tannins on the entry. There is a little hardness here, pointed acidity and a brittle finish. It remains fresh and vibrant, with an almost old school Claret like austere finish.

• James Suckling: Impressive marriage of polish and grip. This firm red shows mouthfilling fruit, with notes of cassis, blackberry and plum, backed by vanilla and toasty oak notes, brightened by clean, fresh acidity and given a firm backbone of ripe, clean tannins.

Producer Information

In 1995, Robert Mondavi and Eduardo Chadwick pioneered one of Chile's first international joint ventures, a bold and forward-thinking move in those times. They set a very challenging goal: to reach the full potential of Chile's wine country and to create a truly world-class wine. These two are distinguished traditional wine families shared the passion for excellence and innovation. Sharing their dream and dedication, in 1997 they released the first vintage of Sena (1995), one of Chile's first iconic wines, marking a milestone and initiating the path for making ultra-premium wines in Chile. Eduardo Chadwick searched alongside Robert Mondavi for four years before finding the ideal terroir in Chile's Valle de Aconcagua. Sena, the Chilean Bordeax-blend, is the culmination of their vision, an expression of consummate quality and character.
