This is our second blend of CRU-55. It's 6.9% alcohol by volume and was packaged in August. It's 100% naturally conditioned in kegs and green bottles. It will be available by the glass and at bottles to go (375ml/$14) when our tasting room opens at 4pm this Friday. We have about 2,000 bottle available with a bottle limit of three per customer per day. We do not anticipate any distribution of CRU-55 beyond our tasting room and restaurant.

375 ml bottle. Nose of caramel, vinegar, molasses or brown sugar, cherry, vanilla. A Huge nose, with lots more caramel and toffee notes than any other red I have had. They are surprising and nice. Glowing brown-red-orange color. Dryer flavor than expected, wood, almost some balsalmico, toffee, caramel candy in the background but not so sweet at all. A bit of smokiness from the barrel. This is awesome.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy copper with small beige head that lasts. The aroma is leather, oak, funk, dark fruit, vinegar. Thin body, oak, leather, nice sourness, great funk, really enjoyed this.
