Why
collect wines as an
investment? Every once
in a while a
"following"
develops for an item
that is in limited
supply. Whether it be
coins, stamps, hot
wheels or old posters,
the value increases as
the
"following"
increases. Each vintage
has a known, limited
quantity of wines
produced adding to its
value. The
"older"
it gets, the more
valuable it gets and
unlike traditional
collectibles, most good
wines
"improve with age".
Marilyn Merlot is now in
that category.

On June 1, 2006, Marilyn Wines celebrated two decades of winemaking history with the release o the 20th vintage of Marilyn Merlot wine. Beginning in 1985 as a playful idea, bringing together the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe and some of Napa Valley's finest Merlot wine, Marilyn Merlot has itself become a legend and is perhaps the most sought-after of all "collectible" wines.
Each new vintage is
released on Marilyn
Monroe’s birthday, June
1st, and sells out
quickly. Collectors have
made Marilyn Merlot one
of the
fastest-appreciating
wines on the market, as
twelve-bottle sets of
the 1985 through 1996
vintages continue to
grow in value and are
now selling for $7,000. |

Testimonials:
2001
The 2001
Marilyn Merlot grapes
were harvested by our
longtime growers from
vineyards in the heart
of the Napa Valley. The
2001 vintage Marilyn
Merlot is a blend of 97%
Merlot and 3% Cabernet
Sauvignon. The small
addition of Cabernet
gives the wine a more
complex vinous aroma and
a richer texture on the
palate. The addition of
25% new oak barrels
delivers the fragrance
of milk chocolate that
nicely compliments the
black fruit flavors of
the grapes.
