Winemaker Notes
Number 27 on Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2004!
"Big and powerful, brimming with tarry, spicy black cherry, dark plum, blackberry and chocolate flavors. Rich and gooey like a warm flourless chocolate cake, yet it finds a plush balance that keeps it from veering off into heaviness. This has grace, harmony and refinement, without losing an ounce of power. Drink now through 2025." - Wine Spectator

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2000 Command Shiraz is silky, powerful, plush and strident in its flow of intense fruit across the palate. The tannins are finely wrought, although profuse, and the tannin structure feels very much a part of the wine, rather than an external encasement. It's sleek in the mouth, polished and shiny, with an earthy finish. There's loads going on here and still with primary nuances. 14.5% alcohol. Rating: 95+
