Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Sweet in peaches, pineapples, oranges, honeysuckle and vanilla, but balanced with crisp acidity. It’s an opulent Rhône blend of Viognier, Roussanne, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc.

Rich and full-bodied, if a bit direct, with black and red cherry, red licorice, bacon and sandalwood flavors. Best now.

Kaleidos Syrah - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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 Grenache - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Yes, it’s high in alcohol, but this Rhône blend is bone dry and sturdy in tannins. Shows black pepper-infused fruit, rich in blackberries, black currants and cedarwood, with hints of sweet leather and bacon. Very fine and delicious. Drink now.

One of the best Paso Rhône blends of the vintage. It's bone dry and sturdy in tannins, offering complex and interesting flavors of black pepper, blackberries, black currants and cedar, with an edge of sweet leather and bacon. Best now for its youthful power and flair.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
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.
