Tod Mostero echoed the feelings of most winemakers regarding 2016 when he explained that it was a warm vintage until August, when temperatures dropped. I remember that vividly, as my team mapped Dominus and Yountville that summer. As for the wines, 2016 is another superb vintage for Mostero and proprietor Christian Moueix. Truth be told, though, I have a slight preference for Ulysses, Moueix's Oakville Cabernet, over Dominus today.
