Merlot 2006

Very impressed, a nice bottle of Bordeaux. Well balanced dark fruit with an oaky peppered finish. — 7 years ago

Marilyn Remark

Wild Horse Road Vineyard Grenache 2011

Clear medium ruby red in color. Nose is cherry and strawberry. More bright cherry and strawberry on the palate with a hint of Monterey minerality. Chewy tannin finish with medium acid lingering. Pretty straight forward and leaning toward the fruity side, this wine drinks young and fresh after six years. I wonder what another six would bring. — 7 years ago

I absolutely love this wine. It's a breath of fresh air after having so many big, voluptuous malbecs. Where an Argentinean style would be Marilyn Monroe, this is Audrey Hepburn. Lean, classy, light, objectively beautiful. And at only 11.5 ABV, so easy to sip. — 8 years ago

Piper-Heidsieck

Extra Dry Champagne Blend

Toast flavors open up to stone fruit; hint of apricot and honey. Can't beat of the story here--Marie Antoinette's favorite champagne and served at 14 royal courts. Marilyn Monroe famously declared of the wine, “I wear Chanel No. 5 when going to bed, and wake up with a glass of Piper- Heidsieck ..." Cheers to that. — 7 years ago

Beau Vigne

Estate Stags Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

@Mike R @Carl Fischer @Ron R @Joe Lucca @David L Believe me when I say that it was an absolute toss up between the Beau Vigne Estate and the Morlet "Coeur de Vallee". The Beau Vigne Estate came in 2nd with the Width of a hair. It was Magnificent. Marilyn Monroe wasn't as full bodied as this beauty!! Enjoyed from a 1.5L and it was blew us away. A nose that enticed you to relish in it's opulence. Deep dark blue and black fruit. You could truly tell that drinking this one sip at a time was going to be a Hedonistic experience. It was beyond perfect in the Front, Mid and Back Palate. We found ourselves taking minutes between sips due to it's Marathon Length finish. Why 2nd place you may ask By the slightest of margins?? I think this may be a 100 point wine in a few years. without a doubt it is THAT GOOD!!
The Morlet wasn't as big and boisterous BUT it have the edge in regards to Balance and being well rounded at this time. The blind tasting reveals which wine is best now & not which will be best in the future. It was AWESOME to discuss these as the night went on!!

Rèunis à Cébazan

Les Argelières Grande Cuvée Pinot Noir 2015

Delicious, big, bold for a French Pinot.

Chocolate covered strawberries? A suggestion of them anyway. And yes a dash of vanilla to the nose as mentioned on the back label.

Label says par Marilyn Lasserre.

Also, oddly, the label says mis en bouteille dans nos caves and also ...M E b par les producteurs Reunis a Cebazan.
