Graham's Six Grapes Reserve Portugal Port Red Wine

The word "Port" on this label marks a regulated origin. By the region guide we follow, it is a protected Portuguese name for fortified wine made in the Douro Demarcated Region, and that guide notes the term still spans several subregions, sweetness levels, colors, and aging categories, so the complete label carries the finer detail. Graham's says the house was founded in 1820 by brothers William and John Graham, and that it makes this Port from grapes grown on its own quintas in the Douro Valley; beyond that, the particular grape or grapes are not something we can confirm.

We do not have a shopper rating for this wine. Across the stores we checked in September 2026, the shelf price ranged from $29.99 to $33.99. As for the ground behind it, the region guide we follow describes a Douro sheltered by mountains from the damp Atlantic winds, with cold winters, hot dry summers, and rainfall that thins as the valley runs east toward Spain.

The name itself has a history: Graham's says its winemakers have traditionally marked barrels of port after each harvest with the Six Grapes symbol, standing, in the producer's words, for "quality, distinction, and vintage-potential," and that symbol became the name for this reserve bottling. The producer's tasting notes describe a dark red wine with aromas of "ripe plums and cherries," calling the palate complex, well structured and long on the finish. Wine Enthusiast's Roger Voss scored it 89 points, and Graham's own serving guidance calls for a slight chill, between 12 and 16 degrees Celsius, and for finishing an opened bottle within eight weeks.

Our call: worth the price if a named critic score and a house with a real history behind its reserve mark are what you look for; Wine Enthusiast's Roger Voss put this at 89 points, and the Six Grapes name traces back to Graham's own barrel-marking tradition. Pass if you want a shopper record to lean on; no rating has reached our record yet, so the critic score and the producer's own account are carrying the case.
