Description

The wine in the Vintage 2000 Marilyn Merlot wine bottle is a blend of 87% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc and 4% Cabernet Sauvignon. Notes on the wine at the time of release: "the addition of the two Cabernets gives the wine an increased floral fragrance and a more solid structure on the palate. Vanilla and milk chocolate aromas from French oak barrels nicely frame the ripe black cherry flavors of the fruit." The grapes for the Marilyn Merlot 2000 vintage were grown by growers whose vineyards range in location from Oak Knoll to St. Helena in the center of the Napa Valley. The stunning portrait of Marilyn Monroe featured on the 2000 Marilyn Merlot label is a sumptuous match for the 16th vintage in the Marilyn Merlot program. Photographer Milton Greene was inspired by an ill-fitting white dress during a 1954 photo session in his New York studio.

The wine has been meticulously stored but serves ultimately for its collectable beauty and not necessarily for its drinkability. There is no guarantee for the wine itself, but the bottle and label are in perfect condition.
