CheckMate 2020 Opening Gambit Merlot 1.5 L (Magnum)
$275.99
Black cherry, cassis and blueberry lead, lifted by violets and savoury spice. The palate is rich yet energetic, layering raspberry, blackberry and tart cranberry with dark chocolate, tobacco, clove and black pepper. Fine, polished tannins give the wine firm shape, while lively acidity and a subtle saline note carry the finish.

About CheckMate Artisanal Winery
Anthony von Mandl founded CheckMate Artisanal Winery to explore Chardonnay and Merlot in the Okanagan Valley. The team studies the vineyards block by block, including sections as small as eleven rows. Its sites range from Dekleva-Combret near Oliver to the heat-retaining rock of Jagged Rock and the deep sands of Border Vista at the Canada–US border.
For Chardonnay, the grapes are sorted by hand and pressed as whole bunches. Fermentation and ageing use a variety of vessels, including oak, with lees stirring to develop texture.
