critic reviews
Lavender, blueberry, raspberry, incense, sandalwood, drawn out with soft spices, mouthwatering finish, lovely quality. 70% new oak barrels, with the rest in 500l oak casks, 42ha estate. Emily Falconer winemaker. Eduardo Chadwick owner.
The 2024 Seña (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Carménère, 18% Malbec, 6% Petit Verdot) shows a balsamic profile marked by boldo, notes of native forest, black fruit, ripe plum and delicate spice. The palate has structure, with grippy tannins and a certain juiciness. The style aligns closely with the estate's Chilean profile, while the notably lower alcohol level (13.1%) lends balance and precision.
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.
