2016 Ulysses

TASTING NOTES
Remarkably fresh and full of energy, the Ulysses 2016 offers deep aroma of boysenberry, lavender and sage, spruce, Palo Santo, rose petals, and Montmorency cherry. The palate vibrates of fine-grained tannins and a long bracing finish.

VINTAGE SUMMARY
2016 was characterized a rainy winter with warmer than average temperatures.
With soil water reserves full, vines grew quickly with dense and vigorous canopies.
Bloom and veraison unfolded in warm and dry conditions. Ripening slowed down
in August because of cooler temperatures and late morning fog.

Warmer temperatures in September (99 F on 18th, 100 F on 25th, 100 F on 26th)
helped fruit to ripen consistently.
