Below is a list of varieties that might be thought of as Bordeaux cultivars, strains, sports, relatives due to their identical, very, or somewhat similar leaves and fruits, or due to their simply having "Bordeaux" in their name. This is a tentative list always open for subtraction, deletion, or other correction. I put it together based on a little research and some limited direct observation.
BORDEAUX VARIETIES
Numbers 3, 4, 5, 6 may be identical to one another or very similar strains, sports, siblings. Of this subgrouping, in my experience at least, Vista has seemed the most distinct from the others.
This Bordeaux list is somewhat arbitrary. It's possible, probably likely, that some of these varieties are not closely related at all. One notable difference in behavior is that both Ronde de Bordeaux and Rouge de Bordeaux are reportedly much earlier ripening (main crop) than the others.
