Description

Indulge in the captivating allure of Ulysses, a Cabernet Sauvignon crafted by Christian Moueix from the esteemed Napa Valley. This wine embodies the spirit of adventure, drawing inspiration from Homer's epic poem, and reflecting the arduous yet rewarding journey of cultivating exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes for Ulysses are meticulously selected from a single vineyard site, where the unique terroir imparts distinctive characteristics to the wine.

Ulysses is known for its opulent nose and beautiful structure with refined tannins. Upon the first swirl, it emanates aromas of dark fruit, especially black currant, oak, and spices. The oak is a testament to the careful aging process in French oak barrels, which imparts subtle vanilla and toasted notes, adding complexity and depth to the wine's character. Crafted with precision and passion, Ulysses reflects the Moueix family's commitment to excellence and their deep understanding of the art of winemaking. With each sip, you'll be transported to the sun-drenched vineyards of Napa Valley, where the legacy of this exceptional wine continues to unfold.

This wine is exceptionally well-suited to accompany grilled or roasted red meats, such as ribeye steak or lamb chops. Its robust structure and complex flavors provide a harmonious counterpoint to the rich, savory flavors of the meat. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheeses, such as cheddar or gouda, as well as dark chocolate desserts. A perfect addition to your cellar, Ulysses is a great drinking experience today but also has excellent aging potential and should develop beautifully over the next 10-20 years.
