Ulysses 2015

“The 2015 Ulysses brings together the richness of the year with a good bit of underlying support. Dark and powerful in the glass, but with silky tannins and striking purity of fruit, the 2015 is a wonderfully complete wine. Black cherry, plum, gravel, lavender, and menthol give the 2015 many of its aromatic and flavor signatures. Readers will find much to admire in the 2015. The interplay of aromatics, fruit and structure places Ulysses among the finest wines of the vintage. Drinking window: 2022-2040. 96 points.

Christian Moueix and Tod Mostero made a stunning wine at Ulysses in 2015. Moueix bought this small vineyard on the southern edge of Oakville in 2008 and has subsequently proceeded to replant the entire ranch. Needless to say, it will be very interesting to see how things develop here as the vines age.”
