![Nova Wines “Marilyn Merlot”, Napa Valley 1997](http://thefallswineroom.com/cdn/shop/products/B69CD591-EB35-4FE6-A704-0EE02EC0849D_{width}x.jpg?v=1586887987)
In spite of the gimmicky label and obvious branding deal with the Marilyn Monroe estate, this is a helluva wine. 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Full, rich, but nicely underpinned by acids and a gentle 13.5% alcohol. And...it’s become a collector’s item!
