Marilyn Merlot 2006

RATING:

90 points Wine & Spirits

DESCRIPTION/REVIEWS:

"A big, rich red with tart cherry flavors and sweet tannins, this finishes clean.  For hanger steak and fries." --Wine & Spirtis--90 pts

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.  Your only challenge will be whether to drink or collect the wine--the original vertical of 12 years (1985+) is worth $10,000 now.  Better get some for each.
