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.  More Details click here Portrait: This striking portrait on the 1995 Marilyn Merlot label is from a photograph done by Milton Greene with Marilyn wearing a mink coat. "Rare Collectible" Retail Value: $500 at Marilyn Wines New Bottle Excellent Condition Full Sealed 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.     Rear Label 1995 Marilyn Merlot 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7%Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc French Oak: 21 Months Released: June 1, 1997 full size, click your mouse on picture Testimonials:The addition of the Franc gives an aromatic complexity and structure to our typically soft and luscious Merlot fruit. Ripe plum and toasted vanilla bean aromas are reflected on the palate by the plump fruit flavors of black cherry and dark chocolate. The grapes are from four vineyards located in the heart of the Napa Valley near Rutherford and Yountville.  Skype Us Have any questions, Skype us at "pk2bob1" Payment We prefer payment via Pay Pal.
