It is of a family working together as one to pursue their dream. When they saw this old vineyard on this beautiful property in the foothills north of Boise, Idaho that needed rehabilitation they all - were all in! Mark and Lori Pasculli purchased a neglected Cabernet Franc vineyard in the Eagle Foothills in 2016. Two vintages later their estate Cab Franc earned a Double Platinum and 96 points from Great Northwest Wine in 2021.” - Jan and Tammy De Weerd.

Rolling Hills Vineyard: 2023 Idaho Winery To Watch

GARDEN CITY, ID — Mark Pasculli graduated from one of the wine industry’s most respected universities, but he didn’t go to Fresno State for viticulture or enology.

His degree was in accounting, yet he’s proven to be a quick study after purchasing a neglected Cabernet Franc vineyard in the Eagle Foothills in 2016 at the encouragement of his wife, Lori.

Two vintages later, Rolling Hills Vineyard produced an estate Cab Franc that earned a Double Platinum and 96 points from Great Northwest Wine in 2021.

“Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, I’m finding enjoyment in things that stop time. Just the simple act of tasting a glass of wine is its own event. You’re not downing a glass of wine in the midst of doing something else.” – David Hyde Pierce

TIRED OF THE HEAT? SO ARE IDAHO GRAPE GROWERS...

EAGLE, Idaho — Most farmers would agree: when relying heavily on Mother Nature, no two years are the same. That's the case this year for Idaho grape growers dealing with the impacts of an unusually cool and wet spring followed by a record-breaking hot summer.

GREAT NORTHWEST WINE

Mark and Lori Pasculli have rehabilitated a Cabernet Franc vineyard near the Boise suburb of Eagle and have naturally chosen to make that Bordeaux variety a focus of their young estate winery. This bottling, with some guidance from winemaker Angela Shaltry, is from Rolling Hills’s first commercial vintage, and there’s a richness beyond its savory herbal profile.

Mark Pasculli loves being outside. Once winter eases its grip, he tries to spend every minute possible enjoying his expansive wrap-around deck or working in his vineyard trimming vines with his two trusty golden retrievers at his side. The property he owns and runs with his wife Lori and their children is nestled in the Eagle foothills, largely surrounded by other small farms or single-family homes with expansive acreage.
