London: Viking, 1991. 275 pp, 8vo (8 3/16" H). Map endpapers, b&w maps in text. "This unique series looks at each of the major grape varieties and assesses the wines made all over the world from that variety. Each volume includes background information on the grape variety and advice on the best way to buy, store and serve the wines. An extensive gazetteer lists the main wines made from the variety in Europe, North and South America, Australia and New Zealand. A special feature of this series is the individual ratings given for quality, price and best recent vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon is best known as the most important red grape variety in Bordeaux, the region that produces the world's most generally admired red wines. It has also been widely exported and now flourishes in countries as diverse as Italy, Spain, Bulgaria, the USA and Australia. This volume not only looks at wines suitable for early drinking but includes advice on the potential of both the top Bordeaux Chateaux traditionally favoured by investors and the many excellent Cabernet Sauvignon now being made beyond the borders of France."
