Of the 2012 Linne Calodo "Overthinker" Paso Robles Rhône Blend, Vinous writes: "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.

osh Reynolds for Vinous: "Not a year goes by when Matt Trevisan doesn't tell me that he's still fine-tuning his style and thinking as much as possible about ways to reach his potential as a winemaker--and, increasingly, as a grower. A quick look at the names of his wines gives one an idea of his curious nature and he's one of the more reflective producers that I visit, anywhere. He reminds me a lot, in fact, of Jean-Louis Chave, another young vigneron who, like Trevisan, is constantly questioning his own work even though his wines are consistently among the very best examples of his appellation." (6/2015) And praise from Jeb Dunnuck: "A genius when it comes to fashioning incredible blends from Syrah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Zinfandel (as well as a few others), Linne Calodo's Matt Trevisan eschews single varieties and makes seamless, elegant and character-filled wines that are always an utter joy to drink."

Wine Advocate
“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. Focusing exclusively on blends, Linne Calodo’s Matt Trevisan makes some of the sexist, most silky and seamless wines out there. He’s excelled in both 2012 and 2013. (JD)” (08/2015)

Wine Advocate
“The Overthinker is a silky, polished and elegant 2013 that has ample kirsch, blackberries, ground herbs and dried flower-like aromas and flavors. Complex, seamless and medium to full-bodied, with bright acidity and fabulous purity, it's up with some of the top Grenache-dominated releases coming out of California. Made from 57% Grenache, 29% Syrah and 14% Mourvedre... (JD)” (08/2016)

Vinous
“Opaque ruby. A highly complex smoke-accented bouquet evokes ripe red berries, cherry liqueur, licorice, Indian spices and incense. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering intense raspberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that show a deft combination of concentration and vivacity. Delivers excellent focus and spicy lift on the impressively long, sweet finish, which is framed by fine-grained, slow-building tannins. (JR)” (09/2016)

Wine Spectator
“Powerfully built but polished, with kirsch and smoky white pepper aromas and dense, complex flavors of blackberry and licorice that linger toward well-structured tannins. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. (TF, Web-2017)” (08/2023)
