Since 1985, Marilyn Wines have made history, bringing together the vivacious appeal of Marilyn Monroe and Napa Valley winemaking. Marilyn Cabernet and Merlot wines offer inimitable style and exceptional opportunity for the collector. Lovers of fine wine will enjoy the 2003 Marilyn Merlot (release date June 1, 2005) and the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (release date Fall 2005) . . .  

The 2003 Marilyn Merlot grapes were harvested from vineyards in the heart of the Napa Valley.  A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon adds complexity to the nose and structure to the mouth.  With enhanced bouquets of vanilla and roasted coffee, the fruity aromas and flavors are ripe and soft, reflecting the maturity and quality of the grapes when harvested.   

The 2001 vintage Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This classically styled Cabernet has aromas of cassis, black currants, and toast oak. This wine is the fourth of five vintages in the Second Marilyn Cabernet Collection. Only 409 cases were produced.  Each bottle is individually numbered.
