winemaker's notes:
Six Grapes has a seductive, rich aroma of ripe plums, cherries and dark chocolate notes. On the palate it's complex, with an excellent structure and a long, lingering finish. Six Grapes is one of Graham's original Port blends--it is a very full-bodied, luscious wine drawn from the same vineyards as Graham's Vintage Ports. Blended from two or three years' harvests, the wine is an average of five to six years old when it is lightly filtered and bottled.
Serving and pairing suggestions
Six Grapes is bottled ready to drink after about five years of cask aging. It has a t-cap closure, which means that you don't need a corkscrew to open it and that it should stay fresh for up to two months if stored in a cool, dark place or the refrigerator. Serve it in a glass with at least a six ounce capacity so that you may appreciate the wine's aromas. Six Grapes pairs particularly well with dark chocolate, but is also fantastic on its own as a luscious dessert in a glass.

The top 3 most liked reviews for this wine.
First time was at an Italian restaurant, now I keep in stock at all times.
Sweet flavorful and smooth with a big alcohol punch.
It was just OK, had nicer and had worse.
Light & Fruity
This is the most flavorful beverage that I ever had. It’s fruity, spicy, flowery and earthy all at once—both in the taste and in the aroma. Very, very delicious! It also had the advantage of being still enjoyable after a month in the fridge; and of not having to be decanted.-- But here’s a caution for you wine drinkers that haven’t had fortified wine; the flavor is very intense and very sweet! Don’t expect port to be like wine; it should be slowly sipped and savored to be fully enjoyed.

I loved this wine. I was drinking Merlot with my dinner at least 2-3 times a week, but now that I got my hands on this wine, I cannot even think about Merlot. I will definitely buy some more.
I love sweeter wines, and this one is just about perfect. It is very sweet, but still flavorful. The fruitiness definitely stands out. I find it wonderful on it's own, although it goes well with sweet dishes. I will definitely buy another bottle or two.
This port has sweet, but not overpowering grape and berry tastes with a slight oak finish. It is has ruby red consistency but is not syrupy. Good for a later evening treat or a relaxing moment. Little tanin

While away from home during Christmas season, I happened upon a bottle of Six Grapes, Ruby Port. Now I'm reduced to searching for another! It is a wonderfully sweet, smooth, deep throated Ruby Port for sipping.

I'm originally from Portugal, so I've had hundreds of bottles of port during my lifetime. With that said, this is a great every day port. It's a great value buy for the quality. Enjoy!

I usually find port to have too much of an alcoholic bite for my tastes, but this port was excellent. It served as dessert for our Thanksgiving Part 3, and it was a perfect blend of sweet and tart in my opinion. I look forward to purchasing another bottle.

I received this wine as a Christmas gift and was pleasantly surprised by the sweetness of this red wine. As the description notes, it's great on its own as a dessert, which is how I enjoyed it while soaking in a warm tub on a cold Chicago evening. My friend sure made a great choice with this one! Merry Christmas to me!

My first port. Pleasantly sweet and smooth but with a bit of bite on the finish. Better with chocolate than with cheese, this port tastes best slightly cooled and will surely provide quite a kick after only a couple glasses.

An excellent port! Bought 2 bottles, and on my first sip it was time to order a case! You would have a hard time finding a guest who wouldn't love a little bit of this stuff after a good dinner!

This was my first port and I loved it! I'm a red wine lover and this has all the grapey goodness that a red has with the typical dried fruit flavors port usually has. I have already gone through one bottle and will definitely purchase another.

IM A ROOKIE AT WINES. STILL LEARNING THE GRAPE ROPES. BUT I FOUND THIS TO BE EXTREAMLY FLAVORFUL AND THE NUTTY FINISH IS MY FAVORITE PART. THIS IS IN MY TOP 10 PICKS.

A Customer - San Francisco
This port consistantly shows all the character of far finer vintage ports. Surly not as smooth, but balanced, fruity and rich as far more expensive/old [1963 and others] vintages I've tried. A great bargain you can trust.
A Customer - Tampa, Florida
Classic ruby color. Excellent taste and structure. Actually finishes better than landmark vintage Grahams 1985.
Sweet enough to not wanna put down my glass. Solid offering for the cost.

While we are relatively unexperienced with port i have gone questing to find the fullest flavor for a reasonable price and this easily fills the bill. A very full flavor ruby I recommend to all.

We have been testing several Ports the last few months. This is the cleanest & most balance so far. My wife's new favorite
