I have had it before (own 6 pack via mailer) and it is a delicious but lighter bodied Pinot than the other Beaux Freres (which are nowhere near ready to drink). On a summer night, it was perfect. Looks like a rose in the glass, but strong sweet fruit and got better. Yummy yummy and you can definitely drink it now.

Nice T-Man!

Especially for someone who doesn't love Pinot - You almost don't deserve tasting such fine juice!
