Merchant's description
Situated along Napa Valley’s Oakville bench, the Ulysses vineyard was once part of the famed Charles Hopper ranch and was acquired by Christian Moueix in 2008. From the excellent 2016 vintage, this is an opulent and lavishly textured blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with lesser parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
