A remarkable wine for the year. the 2017 Opus One is a dense. full-throttle beauty. Plush fruit and soft. silky contours give the 2017 its racy personality. Exotic. beautifully perfumed and impeccable in its balance. Opus One is one of the most complete wines of the vintage. In 2017. Opus One has a distinctly red-toned fruit profile that distinguishes it from the surrounding vintages.

98 Sucklingpunkte für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJames Suckling beschreibt den Ulysses 2018 im Mai 2021 wie folgt:

Aromas of terra cotta, chocolate and hazelnut with iron and ink. Dusty. Full-bodied and round. Layered. Flamboyant and juicy. Rather soft and gorgeous. Some walnut and chocolate at the end. Persistent. Always there. Drinkable now, but will age wonderfully.


 

96 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJoe Czerwinski beschreibt den Ulysses 2018 im Mai 2022 wie folgt:

The current-release 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon shows more cherries and bay leaf on the nose than prior vintages. There's still a solid framework of cedar, loam and cassis, hints of mocha and licorice, but there's also a bit more freshness and lift. It's medium to full-bodied and densely concentrated yet silky and finessed, with a long, elegant finish.


 

99 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJeb Dunnuck im Februar 2023:

Just about pure perfection and the finest wine I've tasted from this address, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all from a site just north of Dominus. This deep, inky hued beauty offers up a beautiful, full-bodied, richly textured, and incredibly concentrated style that carries ample black and blue fruit as well as notes of crushed stone, scorched earth, graphite, and lead pencil. It has the focused, structured style of the 2018 vintage and is going to benefit from 4-6 years (if not a decade) of bottle age and will be a 30+ year wine.

97 Sucklingpunkte für den Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley S.L.V. 2018 James Suckling im Juni 2021:

This is one of the best SLVs I have tasted with total balance and structure that highlights what was possible in 2018. It’s full-bodied, yet tight and poised, with layer upon layer of fine tannins that give depth and beauty to this young red. Blackcurrant, blueberry and floral flavors. Tight at the end. Needs until 2025 to really show what it has.  
 
 

95-97 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley S.L.V. 2018 Lisa Perrotti Brown im Februar 2021:

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon S.L.V., a barrel sample, reveals a deep garnet-purple color and expressive notions of blackberry preserves, black cherry coulis and warm cassis with suggestions of eucalyptus, dark chocolate, lavender and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is tightly wound with black fruit and savory layers, supported by a rock-solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing long and lifted.

Dominus 2016 mit 98 Punkten bei James SucklingJames Suckling beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2016 im Mai 2018: 

The opulence of fresh flowers and dark fruit is so impressive. There’s so much going on, from flowers to currants. The palate is full and powerful, but what impresses most are the ripe tannins and the amazing poise at the finish. Tightens down at the end. A blend of 84 per cent cabernet sauvignon, eight per cent petit verdot and eight per cent cabernet franc. Drink in 2021.

 
100 Parker Punkten für den Domius Napa Valley 2016 Dominus Estate YountvilleLisa Perrotti Brown beschreibt den Dominus 2016 im Oktober 2017:  

A blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Petit Verdot and 8% Cabernet Franc aged in 40% new oak, the 2016 Proprietary Red Wine is deep purple-black in color and quite reticent at this youthful stage to begin, offering up subtle notions of potpourri. Indian spices, cigar box and iron ore over a core of crushed blackberries and black cherries with intermittent wafts of black and red currants, new leather and smoked meats. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a densely packed mid-palate and oodles of freshness framed by very ripe, finely grained tannins and laced with compelling earthy accents. It offers incredible vibrancy with tons of black and red fruit sparkle in the mid-palate leading to a provocative mineral element on the very long finish. If I could give more than 100 for this one. I would. To be released in May 2019.

 
97 Punkte vom Vinous-Team für de Dominus 2016 Napa ValleyAntonio Galloni im März 2018:

The 2016 Dominus is a dark. somber wine. I don't quite see the explosive energy of the 2013 or 2010, not the seductiveness of the 2012, but the 2016 has a distinct charm that is all its own. Quite frankly. I can't remember a young Dominus with this combination of fruit density, freshness and polished tannins. A huge center of fruit emerge with time in the glass in a big, large-scaled Dominus that should provide readers with a long drinking window of pure pleasure once some of the baby fat wears off.

Dominus 2014 mit 98 Punkten bei James SucklingJames Suckling beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2014 am 27. Januar 2017:
Fabulous purity and clarity of fruit. Black currants, blackberries and violets. Full body. big soft tannins and a chocolate, hazelnut and dark fruit character. Some hot stones too. Ripe, velvety and fruity finish. Better in 2020 but delicious to drink now. Wonderful Dominus.

 
Dominus 2014 mit 97 Parker Punkten ausgezeichnetRobert M. Parker Jr. beschreibt den Dominus Napa Valley 2014 im Oktober 2016:
The 2014s. where the production of Napanook was only 2.200 cases and Dominus slightly more than the 2015 at 4.000 cases, was another early harvest, although somewhat later than 2015. The 2014 Dominus., which is 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 7% Petit Verdot really struts its stuff. Moueix’s belief in dry farming seems to be paying off with stronger and stronger vintages, each successive year, and the 2014 is a sexy, opulent. layered, multidimensional wine with notes of red and blackcurrant, cedar wood, tobacco leaf, spice box and licorice. The color is a dense plum/ruby/purple, much like the Napanook. This is a beauty that is already drinking gorgeously – as most 2014s are – and will continue to evolve for 25 or so years.

 
96+ Punkte vom Vinous-Team für den Dominus 2014 Dominus Estate Napa ValleyThe 2014 Dominus is endowed with tons of depth, power and muscle. Black cherry, plum, smoke, menthol, licorice, chocolate, dried herbs and dark spices are all pushed forward. Deep, pliant and exquisitely layered, the 2014 possesses tons of concentration and mid-palate depth. Like so many wines in this vintage, the 2014 comes across as a hybrid of 2013 and 2012. I very much like the energy and focus in this wine. This is a fabulous wine in every way. With time in the glass, the flavors gain in brightness and focus. There is certainly much to look forward to.

Dominus 2012 Napa Valley mit 98 Punkten bei ParkerRobert M. Parker Jr. beschreibt ihn im Oktober 2015 wie folgt:

The exuberance and drama in the stunning nose of the dense plum-colored 2012 Dominus offers up notes of Asian spice, ripe, black currants, kirsch, tobacco leaf and Christmas fruitcake. It is full-bodied and opulent, with no hard edges, a seamless integration of acidity, wood and tannin and a density and richness that are built to go on for 25-30 years.

Very deep purple-black in color, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon leaps from the glass with exuberant notes of cassis, black cherries and blackberries with touches of bay leaves, lavender, rose hip tea and pencil shavings plus a waft of spice box developing with time. The palate is medium to full-bodied with a well-sustained mid-palate of youthful black fruit, a rock-solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and fantastic freshness lifting the perfumed fruit to a long, lively finish.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is fabulous. Bright, powerful and pulsing with energy, the 2016 possesses stunning textural depth allied to a real sense of drive. Black cherry, tobacco, menthol, sage and licorice give this Cabernet from southern Oakville much of its distinctive personality. In this tasting, the 2016 Ulysses simply towers with pedigree and character. I loved it. Although the track record is short. the 2016 is the finest wine Christian Moueix and Tod Mostero have made at Ulysses.

Possessing mere splashes of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon has a beautifully expressive crème de cassis nose with underlying black cherries, chocolate box, star anise and violets plus touches of pencil shavings and beef drippings. Medium to full-bodied, it delivers a quiet intensity of black fruits and restrained earthy layers supported by chewy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long with mineral and savory nuances. It has lovely elegance and depth. It needs another 2-3 years in bottle, then it should cellar gracefully over the next 20+ years. 1,000 cases were made.

The evolution of this wine has been phenomenal since I tasted it in barrel a year ago with the same black cherry, plum and citrus character but it's turn to orange leaf, dark Chinese tea, and mushroom. Full body, fine and velvety tannins with a touch of dust to the texture. So much chocolate and fruit undertones with forest floor and hints of tobacco. The mouth feel and complexity are seductive. Better to drink in 2022 but a joy to taste. Spring 2018 release.

Second wine from this new estate, which is owned by Christian Moueix of Dominus and Bordeaux. Release is March 2017

 
Ulysses 2013 Napa Valley by Christian Moueix 96 Punkte ParkerRobert Parker beschreibt den Ulysses im Dezember 2015 wie folgt:

The 2013 Ulysses is absolutely mind-boggling, as so many wines from this vintage are. Gorgeous blueberry and blackberry fruit, along with the telltale cassis and floral notes, jump from the glass. Again, this is Pauillac-like, with some cedar wood and subtle barrique smells. Again produced nearly all from Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is full-bodied, powerful. rich and long, with slightly sweeter tannins than the 2012. Production in 2013 was 960 cases and Moueix told me that the entire growing season averaged about two and half weeks ahead of schedule from bloom break to harvest. This is a prodigious effort and will certainly stand as the great Ulysses of the first trio to be released. I suspect it will be drinkable in 3-4 years and keep for 30 or more given the Moueix track record.

"Ein Wein mit unglaublicher Finesse und Eleganz" (Spottswoode)

Am westlichen Rand von St. Helena im Napa Valley gelegen, ist das Terroir des Spottswoode Estate ideal für den Weinanbau. Der lehmhaltige Schwemmlandfächer des Sulphur Creek sorgt für eine hervorragende Drainage, während kühle Meeresbrisen, die zwischen dem Spring Mountain und dem Mayacamas-Gebirge wehen, eine gleichmäßige Reifung der Früchte ermöglichen. Bei Spottswoode sind Traubenanbau und Weinherstellung eng miteinander verbunden. Neben der Gesundheit und Widerstandsfähigkeit, die der biologische und biodynamische Anbau unserem Weinberg gebracht hat, trägt die individuelle Betreuung jedes Blocks zur gleichbleibenden Qualität und den einzigartigen Eigenschaften der Weine bei.

Ihm Rahmen einer vom Weingut organisierten Vertikalverkostung der Jahrgänge 2009 bis 2019 im November 2021 mit Teilnahme beispielsweise von Master-Sommelier Vincent Morrow und Master of Wine Martin Reyes heisst es zum Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa Valley: "Als einer der herausragenden Weine des Flights weist dieser Wein viele Ähnlichkeiten mit dem 2018er Jahrgang auf und schafft ein nahtloses Gleichgewicht zwischen Zugänglichkeit und Alterungsfähigkeit. Es gibt Noten von verschiedenen Beeren, Kirsche, Johannisbeeren, Sandelholz und gerösteter Eiche. Im Abgang finden sich Noten von Blaubeeren und Meeresdunst, mit einem subtilen Hauch von Bienenwachs."
 
98 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa ValleyVerkostungsnotiz von Joe Czerwinski für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 im September 2022:

The gorgeous 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is already drinking beautifully, with incredible waves of black cherry and cassis fruit that have completely absorbed the roughly two-thirds new oak. On this occasion, the wine came across as rather forward and supple, with lush tannins framing ample fruit on the medium to full-bodied palate. Impeccably balanced, with tremendous length on the cool, refreshing finish, it manages to showcase the warmth and generous nature of the site and vintage without going over the top.
 
96 Sucklingpunkte für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa ValleyJames Suckling schreibt im November 2021:

Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, cocoa powder, dried thyme and walnut husk on the nose. It’s full-bodied, chewy and compact with firm tannins and a broad, muscular palate. Structured, polished and well balanced. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2024.
 

 
95 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa ValleyUnd für den Wine Spectator meint James Molesworth im November 2022:

VNot shy, this throws a pretty lush and gorgeous wave of warmed cassis and mulberry puree at you, carried by very polished tannins as violet, red licorice and sweet tobacco hints fill in behind. Shows good energy through the finish, too, with a subtle mineral hint to keep everything honest. Lovely. Drink now through 2037.

"Ein Wein mit unglaublicher Finesse und Eleganz" (Spottswoode)

Am westlichen Rand von St. Helena im Napa Valley gelegen, ist das Terroir des Spottswoode Estate ideal für den Weinanbau. Der lehmhaltige Schwemmlandfächer des Sulphur Creek sorgt für eine hervorragende Drainage, während kühle Meeresbrisen, die zwischen dem Spring Mountain und dem Mayacamas-Gebirge wehen, eine gleichmäßige Reifung der Früchte ermöglichen. Bei Spottswoode sind Traubenanbau und Weinherstellung eng miteinander verbunden. Neben der Gesundheit und Widerstandsfähigkeit, die der biologische und biodynamische Anbau unserem Weinberg gebracht hat, trägt die individuelle Betreuung jedes Blocks zur gleichbleibenden Qualität und den einzigartigen Eigenschaften der Weine bei.

Ihm Rahmen einer vom Weingut organisierten Vertikalverkostung der Jahrgänge 2009 bis 2019 im November 2021 mit Teilnahme beispielsweise von Master-Sommelier Vincent Morrow und Master of Wine Martin Reyes heisst es zum Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa Valley: "Als einer der herausragenden Weine des Flights weist dieser Wein viele Ähnlichkeiten mit dem 2018er Jahrgang auf und schafft ein nahtloses Gleichgewicht zwischen Zugänglichkeit und Alterungsfähigkeit. Es gibt Noten von verschiedenen Beeren, Kirsche, Johannisbeeren, Sandelholz und gerösteter Eiche. Im Abgang finden sich Noten von Blaubeeren und Meeresdunst, mit einem subtilen Hauch von Bienenwachs."
 
98 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa ValleyVerkostungsnotiz von Joe Czerwinski für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 im September 2022:

The gorgeous 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is already drinking beautifully, with incredible waves of black cherry and cassis fruit that have completely absorbed the roughly two-thirds new oak. On this occasion, the wine came across as rather forward and supple, with lush tannins framing ample fruit on the medium to full-bodied palate. Impeccably balanced, with tremendous length on the cool, refreshing finish, it manages to showcase the warmth and generous nature of the site and vintage without going over the top.
 
96 Sucklingpunkte für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa ValleyJames Suckling schreibt im November 2021:

Ripe blackberries, blackcurrants, cocoa powder, dried thyme and walnut husk on the nose. It’s full-bodied, chewy and compact with firm tannins and a broad, muscular palate. Structured, polished and well balanced. From biodynamically grown grapes. Try after 2024.
 

 
95 Punkte vom Wine Spectator für den Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 Napa ValleyUnd für den Wine Spectator meint James Molesworth im November 2022:

VNot shy, this throws a pretty lush and gorgeous wave of warmed cassis and mulberry puree at you, carried by very polished tannins as violet, red licorice and sweet tobacco hints fill in behind. Shows good energy through the finish, too, with a subtle mineral hint to keep everything honest. Lovely. Drink now through 2037.

98 Sucklingpunkte für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJames Suckling beschreibt den Ulysses 2018 im Mai 2021 wie folgt:

Aromas of terra cotta, chocolate and hazelnut with iron and ink. Dusty. Full-bodied and round. Layered. Flamboyant and juicy. Rather soft and gorgeous. Some walnut and chocolate at the end. Persistent. Always there. Drinkable now, but will age wonderfully.


 

96 Punkte vom Wine Advocate für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJoe Czerwinski beschreibt den Ulysses 2018 im Mai 2022 wie folgt:

The current-release 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon shows more cherries and bay leaf on the nose than prior vintages. There's still a solid framework of cedar, loam and cassis, hints of mocha and licorice, but there's also a bit more freshness and lift. It's medium to full-bodied and densely concentrated yet silky and finessed, with a long, elegant finish.


 

99 Punkte von Jeb Dunnuck für den Ulysses 2018 Napa Valley by Christian MoueixJeb Dunnuck im Februar 2023:

Just about pure perfection and the finest wine I've tasted from this address, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon yet includes smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, all from a site just north of Dominus. This deep, inky hued beauty offers up a beautiful, full-bodied, richly textured, and incredibly concentrated style that carries ample black and blue fruit as well as notes of crushed stone, scorched earth, graphite, and lead pencil. It has the focused, structured style of the 2018 vintage and is going to benefit from 4-6 years (if not a decade) of bottle age and will be a 30+ year wine.
