A really good wine from Matt at Linne Calodo, Overthinker is typically my favorite of his cuvees. The 2010 is actually grenache-driven (42%, versus 35% syrah and 23% mourvedre). Probably a bit past peak, there's some terrific fruit on the palate but lacks a bit of backbone to support it through the mid-palate and the finish. Still an excellent wine!
