We are proud to offer for sale one (1) bottle of 1987 Marilyn Merlot 3rd Vintage "Extremely Rare Collectible" MyMarilyn Front Label Why collect wines as an investment? 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.  Retail Value:  $2700 at Marilyn Wines Notes: This bottle below is being sold as a collectible. New Bottle Very Good Condition Full Sealed (slight crimp in seal) 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.   Cap Click on any of the pictures to see the quality of this collectible. Rear Label 1987 Marilyn Merlot The 1987 edition that was not bottled from Napa Valley grapes. The 1987 Vintage was made from Merlot grown in the Aude region in Southern France 100 % Merlot Released: May 1, 1989 While the concept and engaging artwork of these wines has given them a degree of fame, it is the wine in the bottle that merits the favor of those who seek it every year. All vintages carry the Napa Valley appellation (except for the 1987 vintage, which was imported from France). The wines are made at the Napa Wine Company in Oakville, California. Some of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards contribute to the blend, which is typically about 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
