The owner of Sena believes this is his best ever and I have to agree. It has fabulous character of blackberry, licorice, sandalwood and hot stones that turns to cigar box and hints of sweet tea. Rich, agile and playful...

Wine Spectator, May 2015

A rich, round and lush-tasting red, featuring concentrated flavors of dark currant, plum tart and dark berry, with plenty of toasty notes. Suave tannins caress the creamy finish. Drink now through 2022. 5,000 cases made. –KM

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2014

The 2012 Sena is from a cool vineyard on a rocky hillside with some clay, in the middle of the Aconcagua Valley, where there is still some influence from the Pacific Ocean. This wine has always been a blend, and in 2012...

The 2012 Sena Red Table Wine is a Bordeaux blend from Chile's Aconcagua Valley, showcasing the region's potential for producing exceptional wines. This vintage is a proprietary blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Carmenere, Merlot, Malbec, and Cabernet Franc. The grapes are sourced from a cool vineyard on a rocky hillside with clay, benefiting from the influence of the nearby Pacific Ocean.

James Suckling awarded this wine an impressive 98 points, describing it as having "fabulous character of blackberry, licorice, sandalwood and hot stones" and noting its evolution to "cigar box and hints of sweet tea." He highlights the wine's rich yet agile nature, attributing its quality to biodynamically grown grapes.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate gave it a respectable 92 points. Luis Gutierrez praised its "bright and focused" profile, with a nose of red and ripe black fruits, balsamic notes, tobacco, and cedar wood. He found the palate medium-bodied with good freshness and acidity, noting its "sophisticated, polished and fine-grained tannins." He observed that while the wine is accessible now, it promises further complexity with time.

Wine Spectator also provided a favorable review, scoring it 93 points. They described it as "rich, round and lush-tasting," with concentrated flavors of dark currant, plum tart, and dark berry, enhanced by toasty notes and "suave tannins" leading to a creamy finish.

Vinous, however, offered a more tempered perspective with a score of 91. Joaquin Hidalgo remarked on the vintage's warm year influence, resulting in "jammy with soy sauce aromas" and dry tannins. He noted its evolution as more rapid than other vintages.

Overall, the 2012 Sena Red Table Wine is recognized for its complexity and harmonious blend, making it a standout offering from Chile's winemaking landscape.
