NC- 2019 Seña

Seña's blend is led by Cabernet Sauvignon, with Carmènère adding a distinctly Chilean character. The blend is rounded out with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot. The grapes are meticulously handpicked and delivered in small boxes for manual sorting at the winery. Fermentation primarily occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with a small portion vinified in new French oak barrels. Maceration times range from six to 33 days, depending on the variety and the development of each lot. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and is then aged in new French oak barrels for 22 months.

"... This is incredibly elegant, subtle and harmonious even at this early stage. It has floral aromas, notes of orange peel, a touch of creamy sweet spices and great freshness. The palate is medium-bodied, seamless and pure, with pungent flavors and a soft texture. It's long, clean, defined and super tasty. I feel this wine is getting better and better by the vintage. The grapes were picked quite early, and that helped to contain the ripeness and seems to have been a great decision. There was also an exception in the Panquehue zone where the Seña vines are, where the summer was cooler than the average, so quite different to many other regions in Chile. 100,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in February 2021."

"Such beautiful aromas of crushed berries, currants, walnuts, allspice and nutmeg follow through to a full body with tight, ultra fine tannins that provide length and intensity. A finish of slightly dried cherries with wet earth, slate and stone. Chewy and fine-grained. A wine with soul and length. Give it time. Drink after 2025."
-James Suckling, 98 Points

"The twenty-fifth vintage of a wine first made in 1995 by the Mondavi and Chadwick families is one of Francisco Baettig’s best editions yet: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Malbec, 15% Carmenere and Petit Verdot aged for 22 months in French oak (10% in foudres). The nose offers redcurrant, blackberry, and cherry over a bed of sweet spices, cedar and peppers. Dense core and firm grip, it needs to be decanted or left in the bottle for a while longer. Drinking Window 2022 - 2032."
