2014 Checkmate Artisanal Winery Merlot Black Rook

Okanagan Valley more

Decent and needed aerating. 1 hour breathing was not enough.
Improved along the way, but have to commence drinking Checkmates.
Chardonnay night before was dismal.

Near its peak. Better start drinking the other Black Widows.

A lot of ripe dark fruit flavors.

11/3/2023 - neets807 Likes this wine: 90 points

Paired with braised ox tail and first sip alone was nice. With food made the wine taste spicy.
Still ageable for another 2-3 years.
Excellent but I find it overpriced now.

2010 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Stags Leap District

10/22/2021 - neets807 wrote: 95 points

Fantastic sauvignon that aged well and was still inky purple in color.
Breathed a little and was ready to drink after 30 minutes.
A little sentiment formed. Full of California fruit berries, slight smoke and tannins but paired beautifully with steak dinner.

9/11/2020 - neets807 Likes this wine: 94 points

Very bold and jammy merlot that requires some breathing prior to consumption. Would be nice to slightly chill before drinking to taste the difference. Serious red with high ABV for red drinkers.
