Winery Notes:  

The 2002 Marilyn Merlot grapes were harvested by our longtime growers from vineyards in the heart of the Napa Valley. This portrait of Marilyn wearing an easter hat was in a group of photos discovered in an abandoned brownstone in New York in the 1970's. The photographer is believed to be Carl Perutz.

Press Democrat wine editor said, "  3 Stars!  Concentrated flavors of black cherry and raspberry, with hints of strawberry.  Prominent oask.  Good length.  Dry finish."
