The 2006 JR Gantos is a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Touriga Nacional (a grape grown primarily in Portugal). Opaque purple-colored, it reveals an excellent aromatic array of cedar, tobacco, violets, blackcurrant, and blackberry. Smooth textured and surprisingly forward on the palate, it conceals enough fine-grained tannin to evolve for 1-2 years. Layered, savory, and long, it will be at its best from 2011 to 2018.
