1998 Marilyn Cabernet

Release date: Fall, 2002

The 1998 vintage Marilyn Cabernet Cabernet is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, and 12% Merlot, all from the heart of the Napa Valley.

Two years of bottle aging have given this wine a rich garnet color. An extra year of aging in French oak contributed complexity, well-integrated aromas of mature black fruits, and subtle oak to the wine. This wine is full-bodied, balanced, and nicely framed by mature tannins. It will continue to develop for another 5 to 7 years.

This is the first of five vintages in our Second Marilyn Cabernet Collection each featuring a unique label. Only 400 cases were produced.
 

1999 Marilyn Cabernet

Release date: Fall, 2003

The 1999 vintage Marilyn Cabernet is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc.

The wine is deep in color and rich in fruit flavors. Subtle aromas of French oak barrels highlight the desirable character of black fruits and cassis. This wine is full bodied and is enriched by the nicely rounded tannins.

The vineyards range from the Coombsville area in Southern Napa Valley to Rutherford in the middle of the county.

This wine is the second of five vintages in our Second Marilyn Cabernet Collection each featuring a unique label. Only 385 cases were produced. They were bottled the third week of November 2001.

2000 Marilyn Cabernet

Release date: Fall, 2004

The flavors are a good balance of fruit and acidity. Adding Merlot to the blend softens the more aggressive texture of the Cabernet without compromising the wine’s aging ability.

The vineyards sources range from the Coombsville area east of the town of Napa to Oakville in the middle of the Napa Valley.

This wine is the third of five vintages in our Second Marilyn Cabernet Collection. Only 323 cases were produced.
