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 brilliant 2014 vintage, this is a blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It is a broad, creamy and supple wine, with alluring notes of ripe plum, fig, liquorice, cedar and tobacco.
In 2014, the Cabernet Sauvignon is dark, virile and imposing, with notable depth and intensity for the year. Grilled herbs, smoke, tar, graphite, tobacco and licorice meld together in a deep, effortless wine that remains quite embryonic. The darker tonalities of fruit recall the 2013, but the forward, dense fruit leans more towards the style of the 2012. The story of 2014 comes down to rain. Specifically, there was none, and the wine very much reflects that struggle with nature. - Antonio Galloni

Ulysses

Ulysses

Ulysses vineyard was acquired in 2008 by Christian Moueix. Situated along Napa Valley’s Oakville bench and extending over an alluvial fan at the foot of the Mayacamas Range, the site was once part of the famed Charles Hopper ranch and it is exceptional for winegrowing. The soil is composed of deep, gravelly, clay loam and is particularly well-suited to growing Cabernet Sauvignon.

The winemaking approach is minimalist, with attentive observation and restrained intervention. Ulysses is around 90% Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot making up the blend and the vineyard was certified organic in 2021. While Ulysses is very much separate wine with its own identity, it is produced and matured at the Moueix family's Dominus winery in Yountville.
