產區:Aconcagua Valley, Chile
品種:Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
Sena的出身頗有來頭,是由大名鼎鼎的葡萄酒業巨擘Robert Mondavi發起而建立的。1990年,他與智利資深釀酒人Eduardo Chadwick,在阿空加瓜谷(Aconcagua Valley),找到理想的葡萄生產地,建立了Sena酒莊。由Eduardo進行實際的管理與釀造,展開了Sena追求智利頂級品牌的雄心,釀造上非常嚴謹,絲毫也不馬虎。Sena莊園內種有多種葡萄,以赤霞珠(Cabernet Sauvignon)作為主葡萄再調配幾種別的葡萄以均衡酒質,全由人工採摘,送至酒廠後,再將果梗、莖、葉與葡萄分離,避免產生雜質。釀造完畢後,再將酒裝入中度燒炙的法國全新橡木桶中陳年達22個月之久。
WA95
評分: WA95 Eduardo Chadwick's 2008 Sena is a blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Carmenere, 10% Merlot, with the balance Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. It offers up an enthralling, already complex bouquet of sandalwood, exotic spices, incense, red licorice, black currant, and blackberry. Velvety-textured, layered, and structured, it deftly combines power and elegance in a wine that mandates another 5-6 years of cellaring. It will deliver prime drinking from 2016 to 2028+.
