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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #222222;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Raleway',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #222222;\"\u003eBrad bought this old vineyard in Coal River which he and Flammo take on together, co-owning the new label. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #222222;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Raleway',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #222222;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: #222222;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Raleway',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #222222; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eBravo.

The colour is vivid, almost electric, and the bouquet is lifted, vibrantly alive and brimming with berry fruit, amaro herbs (like Campari) and sweet Asian spices. New oak aroma and flavour, although 20% of the 500lt barrels were new, is firmly buried beneath the fruit intensity. Flavours are fresh, super-youthful and juicy; with red cherry, small strawberry, raspberry pulp and pomegranate to the fore, with the 20% whole bunch stemmy \/ herbal complexity way in the background.
