Bolen Family Estates

The ultimate Cabernet lovers Merlot! It is the goal of Bolen Family Estates’ Proprietor, Eric Bolen, to produce the best Merlot in the world each year-a lofty goal to be sure. We at Cellar Angels think he has achieved his goal with this vintage 2008 Merlot. A beautiful deep ruby in color, the wine looks as supple and enticing as it tastes. Very plush aromas and flavors of red and blue fruits blend seamlessly with hints of minerality, tobacco, licorice and black tea. Flavors of enticingly over-ripe fruit, peppery spice and licorice hit mid-palate and lead to a prolonged finish. Amazingly balanced, this wine is drinking beautifully right now, but also has the potential to improve with age. With an unprecedented discount offered exclusively through Cellar Angels, this is the perfect wine to purchase in quantity to enjoy now and to explore how it evolves for years to come. This is an offer that absolutely must be taken advantage of as the Bolen team is only reducing the price of this wine so we can help make a difference for others this holiday season.

Elegant Merlot is a very food friendly wine that pairs beautifully with a wide variety of hearty foods such as vegetarian dishes, pasta and spicy rice dishes. Enjoy with meats ranging from poultry to lamb to venison and beef. Cheeses such as Brie, Blue, Parmesan and Cheddar are wonderful compliments to Merlot as are chocolate desserts.
