Tasting notes
Inky purple. Spicy black and blue fruits, incense, violet and Asian spices on the flamboyantly perfumed nose. Densely packed, mineral-tinged blueberry and bitter cherry flavors show superb depth and vivacity and a seamless texture, with zero excess fat. Juicy, precise and alluring sweet, delivering an uncanny blend of richness and energy. Sappy and focused on the gently tannic, penetrating finish, with the berry and floral notes echoing.

Another rock-star effort that makes the most of what Paso Robles can offer, the 2012 The Overthinker (57% Syrah, 32% Grenache and 11% Mourvedre) offers lots of juicy berry fruits, peppery herbs and underbrush to go with a big, voluptuous and silky style on the palate. While a full-throttle effort, it stays lively and pure and is always a joy to drink, which is a common trait in all of Matt's wines. It's drinking nicely today, but will evolve nicely on its balance.
