2005 Marilyn Merlot Napa Valley Merlot Etched

The 2005 Marilyn Merlot Napa Valley Merlot Etched 1.5 L is from the Napa Valley region of California. Wine Collectors and connoisseurs alike have much to celebrate with the release of the 21st vintage of Marilyn Merlot. As always, the wine is released on Marilyn's birth date - June 1st - and the 2005 vintage will prove to be memorable, not only because it marks a "coming of age" for the Napa Valley icon, but also because it exemplifies the outstanding qualities of the 2005 vintage. For more than two decades, the annual release of Marilyn Merlot has been an event much anticipated by legions of its fans. Bil Marsano in Hemisphere Magazine said, "Marilyn Monroe is one of les grandees eternals, and she lives on in Marilyn Merlot with its neatly turned pun and bottle-blonde. It started 21 vintages ago in a wine climate far stuffier than ours now, so the humor was welcome as it was rare. Marilyn Merlot is no laughing matter now...everyone is mad for them" Each bottle is carefully masked, hand etched and hand painted, resulting in a truly unique work of art on this 3 Liter 2005 Marilyn Merlot.
