An anagram of “Kaleidos” is “like soda,” but that doesn’t mean this red blend tastes like soda. Unless you’re into that.
What was going on in 2007?-2007 was dubbed the International Heliophysical Year by the UN for some reason!
-The official end of the Agrarian age!
-A 2,100-year-old melon was discovered in western Japan! It was the biggest melon news of the year until the death of Anna Nicole Smith!
-Venus and Saturn were IN CONJUNCTION, separated by 46 arcsecs! Unclear what that means!
-Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was released! JK Rowling celebrated by swimming in a big pool of gold coins à la Scrooge McDuck!
-Marion Jones relinquished her Olympic Gold medals because she was a big dirty doping cheater!!
-Richard Breckmander won a Boston Cream Pie in his son’s cake walk!
-The first iPhone! Awkward meals just got easier!
-That “Umbrella” song came out and annoyed everyone!
-Live Earth happened and the world was cured!
2007 Kaleidos "Morpheus" Proprietary Red Paso Robles 750ml 4-Pack
Morpheus is rich and full-bodied, with no hard edges. It has good freshness as well as enough grip and structure to provide precision and definition. It has loads of dark fruits, spiced berry cobbler and chocolate with a long dark cherry and blueberry finish.
When the fruit is brought in, it is gently destemmed into small open top fermenters. The berries are then allowed to cold soak for 2-5 days before being inoculated with yeast. Once the fermentation begins, the cap is gently punched down by hand or the juice is "pumped over" using gravity. The fermentation lasts between 5 to 15 days. After the free run is drained down into barrels the must is then gently pressed directly into separate barrels.
The wine displays notes of forest floor, underbrush, smoke, and sweet blue and black fruits in a lush, medium to full-bodied, elegant, but substantially flavored style.

Kaleidos is my passion, encompassing many elements of my life, including my love of family, Rhône varietal wines, and the rolling hills of west Paso Robles.
This project came about after I spent time working for both Clos Pepe Vineyards in Santa Rita Hills and Summerwood Winery here in Paso Robles. I learned much from winemakers like Wes Hagan and Scott Hawley, and ultimately decided to forge my own path. I bought 24 acres of beautiful westside Paso Robles property in 2004, parked my Airstream trailer, and rolled up my sleeves. I have planted about 2500 vines on a little more than an acre and have five more acres to cover. It’s slow going, but it’s important to me that this work gets done to my exacting sustainable standards, as I plan to be here for a long time.
The Kaleidos label is named for a shop my mother had when I was young, where she sold kaleidoscopes and other works of art. The name resonates with me personally, but also relates directly to my wines. As the light and colors of a kaleidoscope come together to create unique images, the vines here combine the elements of soil and sunlight to develop distinctive fruit characteristics.
The consistent attention to detail can be tasted with just one memorable sip. I welcome you to experience the fruit of my passion in a bottle. Kaleidos wine is available for tasting at the tasting room I share with Changala Winery located at 3770 Willow Creek Road just 0.3 miles off of Vineyard Drive. Dog and family friendly.
Cheers!
