Type of grape is the most important before the brand name even, so it is strange that people mention brands and no mention of grapes. Grapes before brand!

because a great wine transcends the grape, you offer someone an cab sav and it could be any thing but offer them a Mouton or Lafite Rothschild and they know exactly what they are getting,
Château Mouton Rothschild is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (81%), Merlot (15%), Cabernet Franc (3%) and Petit Verdot (1%)
This ones a 1934 Lafite Rothschild
and from Aus 97 Grange, which was an average year, still sets ya back like 600 a bottle, I had a 96 last year and it was sex in a glass. Porn brought me a mix year case a few years back , birthday treat for me ;)
