Hello and thanks for checking out
my auction today.
Up for auction is brand new
750 ML Bottle of
2008 Norma Jeane Merlot
Marilyn Monroe 11th Vintage.
Norma Jeane wines reflect the freshness and youthful charm of the young Marilyn Monroe. These are wines full of vibrant fruit flavors that are meant to be enjoyed soon after they are released.
Since the first vintage in 1998, each Norma Jeane Merlot has been produced from grapes grown in the Tallerico Vineyard in French Camp, California. A little Syrah is blended with typically 80 percent or more Merlot, giving an abundance of fruit flavor and luminous color to each vintage.
Each vintage of Norma Jeane Merlot features a photograph taken of the young actress in the years just before she captured the imagination of the American public as Marilyn Monroe. Designer Susann Ortega creates each label in the vintage series to reflect the unabashed appeal that will always be Norma Jeane.
Like Marilyn Merlot, Marilyn Cabernet, and the newly-released Velvet Collection, Norma Jeane wines have captured the imagination of collectors and as well as those who simply enjoy the exuberance of young and delicious Merlot.
Norma Jeane is becoming highly collectable. The first vintage, 1998, is being sold for over $160 per bottle. The new vintage is distributed in most states, so you can ask your local retailer to get it for you.
Release date: November 1, 2008
A young merlot by the producers of Marilyn Merlot.
Long before the world came to know her as Marilyn Monroe, a young and vivacious Norma Jeane Baker caught the eye of Hollywood photographers and her "pinup" images graced a number of calendars many published well after she gained stardom. One of those early calendar photos has itself become a collector's tem: young Norma Jeane in a cowgirl outfit entitled "Caught Short."
This "Caught Short" image has now become the label for the 2008 vintage of Norma Jeane�A Young Merlot. As ever, the emphasis in making this wine was to bring out the bright and fresh fruit flavors that make it youthfully exuberant as the images of Norma Jeane herself.
Tasting Notes - The emphasis on Norma Jeane is always to capture the vibrant fruit flavors of Merlot at harvest, and this vintage offers the bright cherry and plum flavors of Merlot with the spice of Syrah - fresh and delightful as the image on the label.
Therefore this bottle has become highly sought after as a collectors bottle and would make a great addition to your collection.
If you are looking for something really special for the person who has everything or is impossible to shop for, This might make a perfect gift. You will not find this rare collectable even in the best stores.
