Seña 2022

Extremely bright flowers and citrus with graphite, currants and blueberries. The nose is like going into a flower shop. Medium- to full-bodied with extremely polished tannins that caress your palate. Firm at the finish, which tells you that there is plenty coming in the future. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 25% malbec, 9% carmenere, 6% petit verdot. Try after 2028, but already open and enticing.

The 2022 Seña enters on a reticent note, quietly opening up to reveal a dark, leather-bound nose with hints of turned earth, cedar, licorice and graphite accents that manage a levity and high-toned energy. The palate is lively and spry, driven by bright treble tones balanced with weighty, broad depth and a perfectly suave texture. The finish is juicy yet tense, structured and refined, with impressive length and coiled energy. Ever-expanding in the glass, this is a gorgeous, energetic and exuberant example of poise and clarity that should be a pleasure to follow in the cellar. It's a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Malbec, 9% Carmenere and 6% Petit Verdot aged 18 months mainly in French barrique with some foudre.

Finesse is Seña's trademark and the 2022 is no exception – this new vintage is intense, vibrant and persistent. A rich ruby red, with aromas of fresh red and black fruit combined with intense floral notes, hints of graphite, wild herbs and spice. It's full-bodied with a tense, refreshing character. The tannins are delicate and fine but provide enough grip, sustaining the palate at length before the fragrant finish. A standout addition to the cellar. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Carmenère and Petit Verdot; matured 18 months in barrels and foudres.
