Announcing Two New Releases from Marilyn Wines

On Marilyn's birthday, June 1st, Marilyn Wines released a spectacular new vintage of Marilyn Merlot, as well as the second vintage of their very limited white wine, Sauvignon Blonde™.

2009 Sauvignon Blonde™

The 2009 vintage Sauvignon Blonde™ is an unblended Sauvignon Blanc from the Yountville AVA of Napa Valley.

Aromas are a classic combination of grapefruit and pineapple, with neither dominating the glass. The taste is crisply invigorating with a memorable finish of freshly harvest tropical fruits.

Marilyn Sauvignon Blonde is a wonderful wine to have in the afternoon, or before dinner, or with dinner, or after dinner--in other words, it is really an enjoyable wine.

Enjoy today for its lively taste, but the charm will last until the next release.

2008 Marilyn Merlot

An Elegant Marilyn Merlot ™ Arrives. This wine is what every other serious wine wants to be! It’s glamour in a glass, it’s a conversation piece, it’s the ultimate gift - elegant, all curves, and drinking beautifully. The release of the 2008 vintage celebrates the 24th vintage of a wine appreciated by fans of the iconic star, collectors of Marilyn memorabilia, and lovers of fine Napa Valley wine. The striking and glamorous image of Marilyn Monroe in a purple, shoulderless cocktail dress is from photos done for the release of The Asphalt Jungle in 1950, a film noir classic for which John Huston was nominated for an Oscar.

"People always talk about the collectability of Marilyn Merlot," says Donna Holder, an owner of Marilyn Wines, "but we find quite often that our customers buy three bottles – one to collect, one to enjoy now, and one to give to a wine-loving friend. And Marilyn herself wouldn’t have just collected these wines, she would have drunk them as she was more the 'sip and celebrate life' kind of person."
