Marilyn Napa Red Pose #2 The Velvet Collection 2002 1.5L
A chance meeting in Hollywood between photographer Tom Kelley and an aspiring but unknown actress led to a two-hour photo session on May 27, 1949 that made history and established Marilyn Monroe as the ultimate sex symbol of the 20th century. The photographs from the historic session became known as the "Red Velvet" series, each one a portrait of Marilyn Monroe posing on a red velvet drape. The first of these was immortalized as the centerfold of the inaugural edition of Playboy in 1953. The remaining portraits are the basis of Velvet Collection labels for these coveted, collectible wines. The wines themselves are proprietary blends of predominately cabernet sauvignon and merlot grown in Napa Valley. The 2002 vintage is available boxed in individually numbered magnums. Each label of Velvet Collection wine is covered with a protective vinyl overlay that, when removed, reveals the complete, original portrait.
