2022 Overthinker

“Overthinker is the liquid diary of my life as a winegrower and winemaker. It’s the first wine I produced from the estate vineyard that I planted in 2005. I was called an ‘overthinker’ as a kid because I constantly opted for more information—and I’m still that way. Overthinker is now nearly 15 vintages deep, and it’s a story that continues to be written.”
 
Tasting Notes:
Loads of black and blue fruits on the nose with savory notes. Deep, resonant flavors of boysenberry, cherry, toasted wood and crushed stone. Fresh, stacked and integrated across the palate. Long on energy and structure well into the finish.
 
Pressed into oak foudres and small French oak barriques. Blend assembled in March following harvest. Blend returned to oak foudres, large-format puncheons and 228-liter and 265-literFrench oak barrels (30% total new oak) for maturation. Total aging: 18 months. Bottled and cellared on site for one year prior to release.
 
Racked for clarity, low sulfur additions, unfined and unfiltered.
