A noteworthy producer from Priorato, Mas Igneus's 1998 F.A. 206 is a blend of 70% Carignan, 19% Grenache, and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for six months in French oak. Soft and round, with earthy, strawberry and cherry flavors, an elegant personality, and fine purity as well as overall balance, it is meant to be consumed now and over the next 4-5 years. It is an excellent value. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
