品飲筆記：2013 年的尤利西斯展現出明亮而緊緻的輪廓，香氣以林間野草莓與茉莉花打頭陣，接著是黑櫻桃與黑加侖的深色果味，礦物、石墨與雪松的淡淡木質調交織其中。口感有重量但不笨重，酸度活躍帶來清爽支撐，單寧結構明顯且紮實，尾韻悠長且回甘。 酒莊與生產：此酒由 Christian Moueix 所擁有與監製，產量有限（約 960 箱），旨在以精細的桶陳與長時間陳放，兼顧舊世界的陳釀哲學與納帕的果實能量。 釀造與熟成：2013 年在乾爽春季與穩定暖夏中成熟，採收期為 9 月 10–13 日。釀造採用法國橡木桶陳（近年版常見相當比例的新橡木）並進行延長桶中熟成，以圓潤單寧並保留果酸感。採用軟木塞封瓶，適合陳年或即時醒酒享用。 葡萄園與風土：產地位於奧克維爾的河谷台地，延伸至馬亞卡馬斯山腳的沖積扇，土壤為深厚、砂礫混合黏壤，排水良好，能帶出果實純淨度與礦物細節。 飲用建議：建議醒酒約 90 分鐘，或繼續珍藏至 2030 年後更顯層次；配牛排、烤羊、燒烤或風乾熟成的硬質起司，表現最佳。
Tasting Note: The 2013 Ulysses Vineyard is luminous and tightly woven, offering savory woodland strawberries and jasmine on the nose with waves of black cherry and crème de cassis on the palate. Mineral and graphite notes thread through cedar and subtle licorice, delivering a blend of purity and energy. The texture is refined yet firm — bright acidity provides lift while a confident tannic backbone gives structure and length. Producer Notes: Crafted under the ownership and direction of Christian Moueix, this bottling reflects the estate’s ambition to combine Old World élevage thinking with Napa concentration and terroir clarity. The 2013 vintage shows the site’s ability to produce wines with both precision and staying power. Winemaking Notes: Harvest took place from 10–13 September in a vintage marked by a dry spring and a warm, even ripening season. The wine is matured in French oak (a significant portion in new oak across recent vintages) with extended élevage to refine tannins and integrate oak while preserving freshness. Production is small (c. 960 cases) and bottling follows careful cellar ageing; closure is cork. Vineyard Notes: The vineyard sits along Oakville’s bench, spilling over an alluvial fan at the foot of the Mayacamas Range. Soils are deep, gravelly clay loam with excellent drainage — conditions that favor concentrated, structured wines with distinct mineral detail and clarity of fruit. Serve & Cellaring: Best enjoyed after decanting for about 90 minutes today, or cellar further through the drinking window (2018–2060) for added complexity. Ideal with grilled or roasted red meats, game, hearty stews and aged cheeses.
