2 Bottles of Marilyn Merlot 2005

The 2005 vintage Marilyn Merlot is a blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon which adds flavor and structure to the predominately Merlot based wine. The addition of 30% new oak barrels for this vintage gives the appropriate aromas of toasted oak and a more complex mouth feel from the new oak tannins.

The fruit flavors are soft and mature. Vineyards for this wine continue to be from Yountville and St. Helena in the middle of the Napa Valley.
