Ulysses Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon '19

A profound expression of Napa Valley terroir from Christian Moueix's Oakville estate. The 2019 vintage reveals an intoxicating bouquet of crème de cassis, graphite, violets and espresso roast. On the palate, layers of blackberry compote, dark chocolate and licorice unfold with remarkable density, framed by velvety tannins and bright acidity. Aged 20 months in French oak (75% new), this Cabernet showcases both power and precision. The finish lasts over a minute, with lingering notes of cedar and crushed rocks. Approachable now but built for 15+ years of evolution. Decant 2 hours and pair with dry-aged ribeye, venison or mushroom risotto. A modern Napa classic.
