Alcohol 14.50%. Body Medium. Oak Oaked. Grapes 5% Cabernet Franc, 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot. Tasted by Jonathan Cristaldi (at Ulysses, Oakville, Napa Valley, 06 May 2024). Drinking Window: 2024–2050. Christian Moueix’s Napa Valley project Ulysses often produces a profound Cabernet, and this 2018 release is among the most exceptional. A wine of Margaux-like purity and levity, with fragrant floral notes that turn savory and sagebrush-driven. There’s power and structure, yet the tannins are velvety and seamlessly integrated. Harmonious, elegant, and built for the long haul — a gorgeous wine of depth and serenity.
