Reviews and Ratings

Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 93/100 with the following review:

This wine is a perfect example of why Syrah does so well in the cooler climates of Western Australia. It’s a perfect counterpoint to heavier Barossa Valley examples. This wine demonstrates an ethereal weightlessness that is to be enjoyed and celebrated, along with perfectly delineated black and purple fruit, pepper, hung meat and dried flower notes. Enjoy with beef of all preparations. Spectacular. Tasted 2019, better 2020-2027. 93 Points.
From the Margaret River, Western Australia, Watershed Senses 2014 is a deep-ruby Shiraz with blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry and dark chocolate flavours on the palate. Tannins are textured and there is good acidity on this full-bodied red for a grilled striploin. Long years of wine pleasure to come on this flavoursome Shiraz. - Community Wine Reviews
