Hello and thanks for checking out
my auction today.
Up for auction are 2 brand new
750 ML Bottles of
Marilyn Monroe 2005Merlot &
Marilyn Merlot 2006
22nd Vintage Napa Valley Wine.
Marilyn Merlot wines consistently win praise from critics and lovers of stylish and delicious Merlot.
Marilyn Monroe continues to capture the imagination of our culture. Perhaps this will fade over time, but for now, Marilyn fever still runs high.
There is no doubt about the power of her name and image. Wine drinkers everywhere have a way to celebrate their love, nostalgia, and reverence for Norma Jean, thanks to the Marilyn Wine Company.
Since 1985, this company, started by Bob and Donna Holder and a few friends over a dinner table conversation, has been making one of the most popular collector wines in the world:
a simple Napa Merlot, released every year on Marilyn Monroe's birthday (June 1st) with a different picture of the actress on it each year.
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.

Wine Tasting Notes
The 2006 vintage Marilyn Merlot is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. The additional flavors and structure that Cabernet gives to the predominately Merlot-based wine adds both character and aging ability. Using one-third new oak barrels gives the appropriate aromas of toasted oak and a more complex mouth feel from the new oak tannins. The fruit flavors are soft and mature. Vineyards for this wine continue to be from our longtime growers ranging in location from Yountville to St. Helena in the middle of the Napa Valley." - John McKay, winemaker
"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."
The wine itself is as alluring as the image of Marilyn that graces the label. The photo of Marilyn in a daringly low-cut dress was taken in 1958, and the dress is believed to be the one she wore at the debut announcement of Some Like It Hot.
Therefore these bottles have become highly sought after as a collectors bottle and would make a great addition to your collection.
these wines had the single highest collector value of any modern California wine, even wines that sell for ten times its price. The inaugural vintage, sold for around twenty bucks, now commands a staggering $3500 per bottle at auction, while a 12 year vertical from '85 to '96 will run you $7,000. These prices continue to climb every year.
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.
