Tasting Notes:

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot was matured in new and 1 to 2 year old French oak barrels for 14-18 months. Exhibiting exquisite aromas of blackcurrant, mint and liquorice with notes of mocha and cigar box. This wine is complemented by an elegant and velvety texture with a fine silky tannin finish.

Technical:

Fruit and regional identity. Sense of place: Margaret River. The wines are a good example of typical Margaret River characters. More concentration and complexity through extended maturation and barrel fermentation.

79% Cabernet Sauvignon 21% Merlot

Accolades & Awards:

95 Points James Halliday

"An almost entirely estate-grown blend of 73% cabernet sauvignon, 21% merlot and 6% shiraz. It has voluptuous folds of cassis essence on the bouquet and palate alike, offset at the last moment by black olive and dried bay leaf. Has time on its side."

Reviews:

Watershed Senses Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2016 is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 43.

Rated 5 out of 5 by bazza from Excellent wine Rich generous flavours in typical Margaret River style. Voluptuos blackcurrent, black olive and bayleaf aromas and flavours flood the senses. A wonderful wine at any price but at this price, simply WOW! strongly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by The Doc from An excellent Margaret River Cabernet It’s not often you will get a drink now quality Margaret River Cabernet at the recent pricing from GWS. It is an easy drinking style however has the complexity you would expect from this excellent producer. It’s sad to see Watershed close it’s doors but has given savvy drinkers a once in a blue moon opportunity, fill your cellar with this one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by B_S_J from Close to bargain of the year (BOTY) We have a number of vintages of these wines in our cellar, and in no way have we paid such a discounted price. A glorious wine even at full RRP. Everything is about balance here; great nose, classic MR Cabernet Merlot flavours and the length is a real highlight. Thanks!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rusty from Unmatched wines First bought these Watershed wines when i lived in W.A. Was thrilled to see them on GWD at such amazing low prices. So drinkable and seems like really fine wines you have at a top restaurant!!!!!! Have 6 cases in my garage now, not sure how long they will last!

Rated 5 out of 5 by cellarrat from Depth and Mouthfeel Grabbed this about a month ago. Not disappointed one iota. Great wine - the depth and mouthfeel were standout factors. Hope this comes around again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Old soak from Very nice red, great value for money - any left? I bought this a couple of weeks ago had one, and bought some more. I think it might be gone or very early, so it would be good to check quickly.

Rated 4 out of 5 by sso1 from Typical Marg Cab Sav We bought a case a month ago and opened one for tasting. Aroma of berry fruit came out from the wine once it open up. But it’s still young to drink with lots of structure to grow in the cellar.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Gerry from excellent flavours resting on the tongue. For a 2016 it is drinking very well but make sure you let it breathe and serve at room temperature to enjoy it to the utmost

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mac1 from 95% balance, pretty darn good. The closest I have found thus far to the classic left bank Dordogne Bordeaux blend, and at a competitive price.

Rated 1 out of 5 by John from Last Watershed I will buy! You claim it has "an elegant and velvety texture with a fine silky tannin finish" . It just tastes bitter to me, with no fruit flavour.
