Ulysses Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Ulysses vineyard is situated along Napa Valley’s Oakville bench at the foot of the Mayacamas range. This historic vineyard was part of the original Charles Hopper Ranch in the 1800s and was purchased by Christian Moueix in 2008. Since then, they have undertaken meticulous vineyard restoration, carefully studying the gravelly, clay loam soils and the property’s microclimates. As part of their efforts toward sustainability and environmental stewardship, they dry farm to enhance root depth and resistance to drought as well as to further develop in their wine the character of an exceptional terroir.
Homer’s Odyssey is the epic tale of Ulysses, who, after the Trojan War, travails to return to his homeland and family, a voyage of ten years. Christian Moueix, inspired by Ulysses’ unending devotion to his quest, embarks on a new journey to produce a distinctive wine from the Ulysses vineyard in Oakville.
