    New Label – Old Souls – Old Vineyard
    Coal River Vineyard - Tasmania
     
    Brad Rogers (a founder of Stone and Wood brewery) and Steve Flamsteed (the winemaker / manager who put Giant Steps on the map) became friends at Roseworthy Ag. College whilst studying wine. I don’t know Brad, but what he and his buddies did at Stone and Wood is phenomenal. I do know “Flammo,” and a more focused, expansive-thinking, hard-working vigneron is almost impossible to find (I’m not sure that there is one). I tasted this Decades’ Pinot a few weeks ago at a Pinot conference with Flammo (and I love Coal River pinots). After tasting good and great pinots all day, this looked really pure, perfumed, silky (but not a light weight) fresh, crunchy, juicy, complex and long. 
    Brad bought this old vineyard in Coal River which he and Flammo take on together, co-owning the new label. 
     
    Bravo. Try some! Cheers, Randall.
