The winery, or rather the Ulysses Vineyard, once part of Charles Hopper's ranch, was purchased in 2008 by Christian Moueix. Located along the Oakville bench of Napa Valley and on an alluvial fan at the foot of the Mayacamas range, the site is exceptional for growing grapes. The soil is composed of deep, gravelly clays and is particularly suitable for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. After the acquisition, Christian Moueix and his team deepened their knowledge of the soil and microclimate and undertook a long and meticulous restoration of the vineyard. Dry farming, the basis of Ulysses' sustainable agricultural practices, increases root depth and drought resistance, resulting in a wine that is a pure expression of its terroir.
