Kaleidos 2005 Oakrock Red (Paso Robles)

A nice, everyday sort of wine, rich and fruity in blackberries and cherries, and with a good enough tannic structure for balance. Basically dry, although you’ll find sweet black currants in the finish.

Kaleidos 2006 Grenache (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $45
Rich in black cherries, cassis, mocha, smoky oak and black pepper, but there’s a sharp, tannic sting throughout that doesn’t seem likely to age away before the fruit fades. Drink now with BBQ.

Kaleidos 2004 Osiris Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $28
Half and half Grenache and Mourvèdre, this rich wine is superripe in jammy blackberry, cherry, orange and root beer flavors. It’s not exactly dry, but not really sweet. Very high alcohol creates a peppery burn.

Kaleidos 2004 Morpheus Red (Paso Robles)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
Like a trip through an orchard, this Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre blend bursts with flavors of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, tangerines, kumquats, dates, golden mangoes, yellow currants, the list goes on and on. It’s a little on the sweet side, while grippy tannins give the palate handrails to negotiate this fruity ride.
