1999 Pepperwood Grove Cabernet Sauvignon

A plastic cork is the first thing I see as I open this bottle of 1999 Pepperwood Grove Cabernet Sauvignon. Not the greatest start, but I remember that they where to rage at the time. They fixed the “corking” of wines, and was “supposedly” better. Well in this case there really wasn’t much to save.
When you drink a cab you expect certain things. What you don’t expect is how sweet this tasted, how raw. The back of the bottle says vinted & bottled by Pepperwood Grove Winery Napa, CA… I’ve never heard of the winery. I liked how simple the label was, and it was from Napa so I assumed they couldn’t of ruined the wine. I was wrong.
If you see this wine/winery run. Look again, I’m pretty sure that most any other Napa Valley wine will be fine no matter what the cost.
