Norma Jeane wines reflect the freshness and youthful charm of the young Marilyn Monroe. These are wines full of vibrant fruit flavors that are meant to be enjoyed soon after they are released.
Since the first vintage in 1998, each Norma Jeane Merlot has been produced from grapes grown in the Tallerico Vineyard in French Camp, California. A little Syrah is blended with typically 80 percent or more Merlot, giving an abundance of fruit flavor and luminous color to each vintage.
Each vintage of Norma Jeane Merlot features a photograph taken of the young actress in the years just before she captured the imagination of the American public as Marilyn Monroe. Designer Susann Ortega creates each label in the vintage series to reflect the unabashed appeal that will always be Norma Jeane.
Like Marilyn Merlot, Marilyn Cabernet, and the newly-released Velvet Collection, Norma Jeane wines have captured the imagination of collectors and as well as those who simply enjoy the exuberance of young and delicious Merlot.
Norma Jeane is becoming highly collectable. The first vintage, 1998, is being sold for over $160 per bottle. The new vintage is distributed in most states, so you can ask your local retailer to get it for you.
