2020 Ulysses Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville
An epic wine named for an epic hero, Christian Moueix captures the soul of Napa Valley’s famed Oakville Bench in his distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon. Tart cherry, thyme, citrus, blonde tobacco with firm tannins and a powerful persistent finish. Jeb Dunnuck raves, “Another incredibly successful 2020, the 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a big, rich, powerful profile offering ample chocolaty dark fruits, some tobacco, eucalyptus, and mint herb nuances, an expansive, layered texture, and building yet polished and ripe tannins..” Put an end to Ulysses’ long journey and bring it home.
Ulysses is a special vineyard on the west end of Oakville purchased by Christian Moueix (of Dominus and Château Petrus fame) in 2008. We were only able to secure a small handful of cases of this opulent, cassis and red rose-scented beauty. You'll need to be lashed to the mast to keep you from heeding the siren call and draining the bottle! This is a wine for true collectors if we ever saw one.
James Suckling
Aromas of tangerine zest and blackcurrants, with the perfume of fresh flowers. Full-bodied with a dusty texture to the tannins. Gorgeous. Nuanced and pure. Cabernet Sauvignon with a touch of cabernet franc and petit verdot. Needs
