RJ Spagnols Cru Select Platinum vs. Winery Series

[geek]

Can someone tell me the difference between those 2?

My LHBS has the Winery Series for $125 and the Cru Select Platinum is online shipped for $127.95

Is the Cru Select "Platinum" a limited release?

Making the comparison for the Amarone style.

The Winery Series is 18l, the Cru Select Platinum is 16l.

The Winery Series Amarone comes with skins, the Cru Select does not.

The Winery Series looks to be the clear winner.

Ok, I had the impression that Cru select platinum was a limited release.
Thanks.

It looks to be one step down from the Winery Series, but for the minimal price difference I'd say the Winery Series would be the way I'd go, regardless of the varietal.

Prior to grape skins, the Cru Select line was deemed better than the Cellar Classic. The introduction of grape skins and the Cellar Classic Winery Series line has certainly muddied the waters. Certainly the grape skins add something to the WS kits that the Cru Select kits do not have.

BTW, over the years, some Cru Select kits have had grape skins (the dry kind), but I haven't kept track of the current situation.
