Tasted by Jonathan Cristaldi (at Ulysses, Oakville, Napa Valley, 06 May 2024). Drinking Window: 2024–2040. Composed of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% each Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, all from Christian Moueix’s Oakville site, the 2015 Ulysses Cabernet Sauvignon is rich yet finely wrought. Aromas of black cherry, plum, and currant intertwine with tobacco, white pepper, and cedarwood. Seductive and medium-bodied, the palate reveals satiny tannins perfectly integrated with bright acidity, leading to a long finish of cassis, Bing cherry, and crushed stone minerality. A wine of balance, grace, and quiet power.
