2008 in Chile was a cool year. The white wines were characterised by their freshness and elegance and Carmenère varieties were lovely and expressive, with lots of red fruit and freshness.
Sena was originally a joint venture of Eduardo Chadwick, owner of Errazuriz, and the Robert Mondavi empire. Since the end of Mondavi, Sena is entirely under the control of Chadwick.
The fruit is sourced from Sena’s biodynamically farmed vineyard with the 2008 Sena made up of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Carmenere, 10% Merlot, with the balance of 8% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc.
It reveals an enthralling bouquet of clove and nutmeg, underbrush, intense floral notes, blueberry, and blackcurrant. Already remarkably complex on the palate, with layered flavours, an opulent palate feel, silky tannins, this beautifully crafted offering will evolve for another 6-8 years and provide a drinking window extending from 2016 to 2032
