Watershed Shades Cabernet Merlot Shiraz
Big Powerful

Winery Story

Watershed is responsible for the largest initial planting of vines in the emerging Western Australia region. Increasingly known around the w... (more...)orld for its Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Chardonnay, this region is one of the coolest wine growing regions in Australia. Watershed owns 280 acres of vines in what's known as the "dress circle" of the Margaret River wineries — the very middle. The site was selected after extensive testing determined that its soils had the best capacity to produce premium quality wine.

Tasting Note

Attractive, lush, red raspberry fruit harmonizes with cola, brown sugar, pepper, herbs and dried leaves in this well-knit and approachable A... (more...)ustralian Cabernet-based blend. The 20% Merlot and 5% Shiraz in the mix add roundness and spice, respectively, and contribute nuances to this New World-style red that's tough to put down.

Kurtado, I really like this wine as well. Full fruit flavors with a little spice--very smooth as well. Excellent value.

Very tasty, just enough of the shiraz to spice up this french-style blend. Excellent value for an intriguing wine!
