1987-2012 Marilyn Monroe Merlot Collection 750ml
|
|
|
Winemaker's Notes: Each new vintage of Marilyn Merlot sells out quickly. While collectors have made Marilyn Merlot one of the fastest-appreciating wines on the market, it is wine enthusiasts with a sense of humor who have long enjoyed the playful spirit behind Marilyn Merlot wines that are now also seeking the Marilyn Merlot because of the emphasis on making a notable wine from prized Napa Valley grapes. While the concept and engaging label of these wines has given these bottles a degree of fame, it is the wine in the bottle that merits the enthusiasm of those who seek it out every year.
"This wine is every bit as special as its package," says Donna Holder, one of the owners of Marilyn Wines. "It is a must for collectors, but is also a Napa Valley Merlot that stands beautifully on its own."
Marilyn Merlot wines consistently win praise from critics and lovers of stylish and delicious Merlot.

2012 Buoncristiani O.P.C. Red, Napa Valley 750 ml
|
|
|
Rating: 92 Points (Robert Parker)
“32% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 30% Syrah, 22% Merlot and 16% Malbec. Obviously, Papa Buoncristiani
had a very good palate. Dense ruby/purple-hued with more meat, underbrush and
barbecue notes than its siblings, it is fleshy and succulent with sweet tannins
and a full-bodied mouthfeel. This successful blend can be drunk now and over
the next 8-10 years.”

2012 Chateau La Croix Du Casse Pomerol 750 ml
|
|
|
Rating: 90 Points (Robert M. Parker, Jr.)
“Lots
of underlying iron and earth notes dominate this dense ruby/purple wine, which
also has plenty of cassis, black cherry and spice. It is chunky, masculine, medium to
full-bodies and robust. It should
benefit from several years of bottle age and last 15 or more.”
