Rocas de Seña is a new “second wine” in this winery’s portfolio, designed to be different than the flagship offering. Featuring 38% Malbec, 25% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Grenache and 8% Petite Verdot, it takes the unusual tack of mixing Bordeaux and Rhône varieties in effort to show another possibility for Aconcagua Valley. It is a success, showing tart mixed berry fruit joined by notes of coffee, meat, chocolate and a dash of cumin. Give it a good decanting and serve with a well seasoned rib eye steak.
