“Winemaking is like the game of Chess, the winemaker must think many steps ahead, anticipating the impact each move will have at a later point in time. Just like a Grandmaster has a game plan, a winemaker heads into each growing season with a clear vision, a plan for contingencies, and you must stay true to your resolve. When that resolve is to craft world-class wines and you ultimately achieve it, you have truly mastered your craft.”
PHIL MCGAHAN, WINEMAKER

CheckMate crafts a portfolio of merlot utilizing wild yeast ferments and without recourse to fining and filtration, to let nature take its course. These extremely small lots of Merlot display impeccable character, integrity, and quality, and are the culmination of more than three decades of sustainable farming and pushing the boundaries of winemaking in the Okanagan Valley.
