1. far too much. http://www.traderharrys.com/servlet/Detail?no=133 i saw a bottle on ebay for $350, obviously a scam. but then the whole product line is kind of a scam. a brilliant marketing ploy.
2. If its the Napa one I got 350 on eBay using www.wine-searcher.com Retail was around 2700. Marilyn must come with the bottle. Wine Spectator had a french vin d' Pays by the same name for original price of $6, and gives the later vintages of the Napa some bad bad marks. Best shot in Merlot is 2004 and 2005 right bank Bordeaux, St Emilion ect. The 05 is just being released, better get it while its hot.
3. If you buy the wine from the winery, it 'll set you back $2,700.00 The 1987 vintage is an odd one since it is made not from California fruit as usual but it is a southern French wine. The only think that makes this wine worth more than $10 is the label and its rareity. See http://www.marilynwines.com/marilynmerlot.html# for prices of all vintages
4. Unless you can demonstrate that is was stored in proper conditions, it's worth nothing.
