Situated along Napa Valley’s Oakville bench, the Ulysses vineyard was once part of the famed Charles Hopper ranch and was acquired by Christian Moueix in 2008. From the unbelievably excellent 2013 vintage, this is a blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It is incredibly full-bodied and powerful, yet endowed with deliciously exuberant notes of blackberry, cassis and wild flowers.

The 2013 Ulysses Napa Valley is a testament to an exceptional vintage in Napa Valley, renowned for its concentrated flavors and depth. This wine, presented in a large 600cl format, offers a luxurious experience of one of the finest years for Cabernet Sauvignon in the region. With its rich, layered complexity and elegant structure, it's a wine that promises to evolve beautifully over time. This wine exhibits a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe blackcurrants, plums, and hints of graphite. On the palate, it reveals layers of dark fruit, savory spice, and smooth tannins, leading to a long, opulent finish. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate rated it 96+ points, highlighting its potential for ageing and depth of flavor.

The Ulysses collection showcases the unique terroir of the Napa Valley with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. The winemaking is influenced by Moueix’s expertise in Bordeaux, offering wines that combine the richness of Napa Valley fruit with the elegance and complexity of Bordeaux.
