  The famous great grape of Bordeaux makes claret and other fine red wines from Chile to Italy. It is the world's favourite and most distinguished grape. This second title in the grape varieties series describes how Cabernet Sauvignon has adapted to various climates and has been used by widely-scattered wine makers to produce wines which, although they have a family style, taste slightly different. Profiles of growers and wine estates are given plus information on how the wines are made and assessments of the styles and qualities available. Organized by country, it lists everyone from the New World giants to the classed growths of Bordeaux. A blind tasting of Cabernet Sauvignon wines from around the world was organized especially and its findings are reported exclusively in the book. It also includes vintage charts, wine and food advice and ageing charts.
