for the Me ́doc and Graves, typically a blend of 2–4 varieties dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon;(2)St.E ́milionandPomeral,ablendofmostlyMerlotandCabernet Franc; and (3) Sauternes and Barsac, typically a sweet white wine blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. Other ratings, such as those for California red wines, are generalized for all red wines produced from the region during a given vintage. The ratings are scaled theoretically from 0–100 (although a score of zero is probably never given) with general categories of 0–39 Disastrous, 40–59 Very bad, 60– 69 Disappointing, 70–79 Average to good, 80–89 Good to very good, 90–100 Excellent to superb. Lacking a vintage rating for both South Africa and Chile, two very important and expanding wine regions, the Sotheby’s data were supplemented with a similar scale of ratings from the Wine Enthusiast, a separate and widely respected monthly publication on wine (Mazur, 2002)
