Aromas are lifted and bright in this wine with loads of blackberries and blueberries. Full body, velvety tannins. Gorgeous texture. Very pure fruit. A bright and more fundamental Seña than last vintages. Restrained at the...

Decanter, September 2018

The Seña vineyard was planted in 1998 in the heart of the Aconcagua Valley, and since 1995 it's provided the fruit for a single vineyard blend based on Cabernet Sauvignon. This new release is 55% Cabernet, with 20%...

The 2016 Sena Red Table Wine is a Bordeaux blend originating from the Aconcagua Valley in Chile. This wine, comprising 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Carmenere, and 5% Cabernet Franc, is a testament to the refined craftsmanship of winemaker Francisco "Pancho" Baettig. With an alcohol content of 13.5%, this red wine is noted for its balance, elegance, and freshness, marking it as an outstanding vintage from the Sena estate.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate's Luis Gutierrez awarded the 2016 Sena a remarkable score of 97, praising it as possibly "the finest wine produced at this estate." He highlighted its "remarkable acidity and freshness" and noted its "mineral and profound" nature despite its complex aging process, which involved maturing 12% of the volume in oak foudres and the rest in barrique, predominantly new.

James Suckling gave an even higher score of 98, describing the wine's aromas as "lifted and bright" with "loads of blackberries and blueberries." He emphasized its "gorgeous texture" and "very pure fruit," suggesting that this vintage is a "bright and more fundamental Seña than last vintages." Suckling recommended allowing the wine to age in the bottle for an additional three to four years for optimal enjoyment.

Decanter also awarded the wine a score of 97, describing it as "vibrant, full of notes of flowers and spices" with a "medium-bodied palate showing juicy acidity and firm, sharp tannins." The publication regards this vintage as "probably the best version to date."

Wine Spectator rated the wine at 95, noting its "elegant, rich and finely textured" nature with "concentrated and pure-tasting flavors" framed by "medium-grained tannins." The publication suggests enjoying this wine between now and 2025.

Overall, the 2016 Sena Red Table Wine is a well-crafted, elegant blend that has garnered high praise from multiple reviewers.
