California's French Connection provides best of both worlds.
Benefitted from a 2 hour breather to bring out some character. Smooth and elegant.

A lively red, with cherry and plum fruit and fine tannins. Well balanced and very drinkable. A real French style to this Californian red, restored my faith in American wines.
