2020 Hi-Rollr Red

Our Versatile Blend - 53% Zinfandel, 31% Malbec & 16% Petite Sirah

For this blend we sourced and worked with a couple of our local friends who also have certified organic vineyards to provide varietals we don't grow. As we do each year we aim to create an easy drinkin’ wine that’s as comfortable with a mid-week pizza as an elegant Sunday roast. On the palate it is a lively wine with rich flavors of cherries, boysenberries and warm spices, all backed with bright acidity and a satisfying finish. This comes together to create a real crowd pleaser. Fortunately, you don’t need to be a High Roller to drink this wine often.

Boontling - An American Lingo…

Hi-Rollr is a term coined in about 1890 by speakers of Boontling, (the name is a combination of “Boonville,” our nearest town about 10 miles away and “lingo”) spoken by residents of Mendocino’s Anderson Valley. It refers to the folks living in the hills of Yorkville, who apparently would roll up the pant legs of their overalls while crossing muddy steams and then forget to roll them back down before arriving at the bustling town of Boonville for the Saturday night supper and shindig. Locals pointed and laughed and the name stuck.
