2010 Norma Jeane

For several years - before she became Playboy Magazine's first nude centerfold as "Marilyn Monroe" - Norma Jeane Baker was an aspiring Hollywood starlet who became a favorite of many photographers.

The label for this 2010 vintage of Norma Jeane – A Young Merlot is graced by a 1940s photo of Norma Jeane making an entrance in a shimmering gown, and perfectly captures her vivacious charm – qualities that are reflected in this wine, which is so fresh and exuberant.

The grapes for this wine were sourced predominantly from the Paso Robles AVA, where Merlot is a leading grape variety, yielding wines often noted for their generosity of flavor, elegance, and balance.
