About the Checkmate Silent Bishop Merlot 2020
95 points - John Schriner
This wine is made with fruit from three vineyard benches (Oliver North, Golden Mile and Osoyoos West Bench) on the western side of the valley. The wine was fermented with native yeast and had extended skin contact. It was aged 89% in new French oak and 11% in concrete. The wine begins with aromas that include floral notes and cassis. The palate delivers flavours of black currant, black cherry and blueberry mingled with herbs.
