Item Description
The 1997 Marilyn Merlot is an exceptional bottle of wine. This rich Napa Valley Merlot is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, creating an impression of fullness in the mouth with a nice balance of acids and tannins and a suggestion of oak. Aromas of ripe, plump blackberry complement the lovely, lingering fruit on the finish.
Continuing the collectible series that premiered in 1985, the 1997 Marilyn Merlot features a stunning portrait of Marilyn taken in 1957 during her final photo session with Milton Greene. Greene's photograph captures Marilyn as her most whimsical, yet sensuous, self. Wearing fiery red against a black background, Marilyn peers provocatively at the camera, her face partially veiled by chiffon.
750 mL
History:
Marilyn Wines traces its origins to 1981, when a small group of friends started making wine at their home near St. Helena in the Napa Valley. One evening in 1983, over dinner and a bottle of homemade merlot, the concept of "Marilyn Merlot" was born. The wine enjoyed a good deal of popularity around the valley and was often donated to charity auctions and given as Christmas gifts.
In 1985, the playful idea and the fine wine that bore its name led to the limited production of Marilyn Merlot for sale to the public. Over the 25 years, continuing acclaim from critics, collectors, and lovers of fine wine have led to the production of Marilyn Merlot.
