2001 Mas Igneus FA 206
The F.A. 206 cuvee, is a blend of 70% Carignan,
19% Grenache, and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon, all from
small yields, and aged six months in used French oak.
Fruit-driven, with ripe, sweet black currant characteristics
along with hints of fennel and spice box is the 2001
F.A. 206. With additional texture and fat, it will
drink well for 2-3 years. This is an outstanding value.

an excellent value.
