Burton, Neel. The Concise Guide to Wine and Blind Tasting. 2nd ed. Acheron Press, 2016.
After a historical and geographical introduction, the author describes separately vinified components, selection of free-run and press wine, maturation and eventual assemblage. Components are chosen for the desired wine, with unused lots redirected to other bottlings; Merlot and Petit Verdot are examples of mid-palate or seasoning roles. Appellation geography and estate classifications are separate systems.
