title: Marilyn Merlot 2005 Merlot (Napa Valley)
description: Can't miss this bottle on the shelf, with La Monroe herself giving that come-hither look. The wine too is soft and fleshy. With 12% Cabernet Sauvignon to give some punch, it has uplifted blackberry, cherry, dark chocolate and smoke flavors, and is totally dry.
variety: Merlot
