Matthew Luczy

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate

The 2024 Seña continues the excellence that the entire Errázuriz range exhibits in this vintage, offering a graceful, effortless and underrated expression of Aconcagua. A rich bouquet of dark fruits, fresh herbs and floral notes is brightened by a streak of rising camphor and sweet mint flourishes, introducing a suave, tense and seamless mouthfeel with classical proportions. Ultra-fine tannins and graphite-mineral notes surround the finish, lingering with an extra round of herbal and minty nuances. It is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 16% Carmenère and 6% Petit Verdot that matured for 18 months, with 70% of the wine resting in barrels and 30% in foudre—this being the highest percentage to date. 04/2026

Seña is often more marked by its blue fruit profile, and this year it goes a bit deeper and darker with its serious depth of fresh blackberries, currants, graphite and a restrained touch of cigar box. Precise and refined, with crunchy fine tannins on the medium- to full-bodied palate and a long, expressive finish carrying the juicy fruit to the end. A later harvest from April 5 to the end of April and carmenere until May 2. A blend of 60% cabernet sauvignon, 18% malbec, 16% carmenere and 6% petit verdot. Drink or hold. 07/2026

The Drinks Business

The 30th anniversary bottling with a special label to match. Spicy, yet supple and subtle, elegant and charming. Dark chocolate and brambles, black cherry and a little damson, a hint of black raspberry too and the freshness that brings with gentle aeration. A little rose petal too. Open, expressive, radiant and lifted with none of the dryness of some of the early vintages. Ample and layered, glossy in texture with a miraculous clarity given the sheer concentration, viscosity and density. Radiant, lifted, aerial and extremely refined. A great achievement and a wonderful vintage to mark 30 years of Seña. 08/2026

Description

Seña was created in 1995 from the shared vision of Eduardo Chadwick and Robert Mondavi: to produce a wine that would reveal Chile’s full potential on the world stage. Crafted in the Aconcagua Valley, Seña combines a Bordeaux-inspired style with the distinctive character of the Andes. The vineyards are farmed according to biodynamic principles.The 2024 vintage began with a notably cool and measured season. Winter rainfall reached 305 mm, around 24% above the historical average, providing excellent reserves for the vines. Cool spring conditions delayed flowering by approximately ten days and established a slow rhythm across the growing season. Temperatures rose sharply in February and March, accelerating ripening, yet the vintage remained late overall. Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec were harvested around three weeks later than average, while Carménère and Petit Verdot followed with a more moderate delay.The blend comprises 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Malbec, 16% Carménère and 6% Petit Verdot. The 2024 Seña opens with expressive floral notes of rosehip and subtle rosemary, layered with vibrant red fruit, raspberry and black cherry. The palate is fluid and elegant, carrying the floral and red-fruited character with clarity and freshness. Fine tannins and bright acidity provide structure without weighing down the wine. Eighteen months of ageing, 70% in French oak barrels and 30% in large foudres, add depth and texture while preserving its energy. Polished, harmonious and remarkably vibrant, Seña 2024 finishes with refined structure and impressive persistence.
