This vintage is a celebration of the similar timeless appeal of our wines, the lasting vitality of our business, and the perpetual quality of Napa Valley's outstanding fruit," says Bob and Donna Holder, founders of Marilyn Merlot.

The special edition 2009 Marilyn Merlot will be released in September, just in time for the holidays.

Sensational fruit means a quality wine, and we are delighted that our 2009 Marilyn Merlot will mark our 25th anniversary celebration," comments John McKay, winemaker for Marilyn Merlot for the past 10 years.
