2003 Marilyn Merlot Blend: Napa Valley Elegance in Every Sip

Crafted from an expertly balanced 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, this limited-release vintage delivers layered sophistication ideal for both casual enjoyment and special occasions. The addition of Cabernet Sauvignon enhances structural integrity while preserving the fruit-forward character typical of Napa’s premier appellations.

Aged in 30% new French oak barrels, this wine develops rich vanilla undertones complemented by toasted almond notes from meticulous barrel fermentation. The palate showcases velvety black cherry and plum flavors interwoven with subtle baking spice—a testament to our vineyards’ optimal sun exposure in Napa’s Oak Knoll and Rutherford districts (both rated AVA regions).

Perfect for pairing with grilled lamb or aged cheeses, this medium-bodied blend offers smooth tannins that appeal to both red wine novices and connoisseurs seeking complexity without heaviness. Each bottle reflects our commitment to sustainable viticulture practices across our certified organic vineyard sites.
