Neal Family Vineyards
We are and always will be farmers.
Our family has been walking and working organic vineyards for three generations throughout Napa Valley, the stunning place we get to call home. Our family worked hard through each generation and is grateful to continue owning our vineyards and creating Neal Family estate wines. Our Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon grows next to our family home, and our Rutherford Dust Cabernet Sauvignon is grown next to the house where I was raised in Rutherford. Our strong family work ethic and certified organic farming roots inspire our small-production handcrafted wines, which evolve with each generation. One thing will always remain the same, and that is our wines are meant to be shared. We love to share our wines with guests to our winery and beyond. We hope you cherish Neal Family wines and our family-farmed vineyards as much as we do!
Mark’s dad, Jack Neal, loved to write to his wife, Athene.
And, we’ll love writing to you about all things happening at our winery, new releases, and life on our organic farm.
Our Winemaking Philosophy
Great wines come from great ingredients that only organic and Biodynamic® vineyards can produce. Our Howell Mountain and Rutherford Dust Cabernet Sauvignon are 100% single estate vineyard, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon small production wines that are simply exquisite. We believe in minimal intervention and that the incredible terroir should speak for itself.
Certified Organic, Biodynamic®, and Regenerative Organic Certified®
Fall Wine Release:
2022 Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2022 growing season in Napa Valley brought balance, concentration, and vibrancy to the fruit—conditions that perfectly express the purity of Neal Family Vineyards. For more than five decades, we’ve farmed organically, knowing that healthy soils and balanced vineyards yield wines of clarity, character, and longevity. This vintage is a testament to that commitment.
2022 Howell Mountain Cabernet SauvignonExpressive and powerful, with red and black currant, black cherry, cedar, and dark chocolate. Silky yet structured, with the energy to age gracefully for decades.
2022 Rutherford Dust Cabernet SauvignonDense and opulent, showing black plum, cassis, and Maraschino cherry layered with herbs and spice. Rich and mouth-filling, yet balanced with freshness and a long, lifted finish.
2022 Napa Valley Cabernet SauvignonVibrant and precise, offering cassis, cherry, raspberry, and cranberry with hints of mint, herbs, and spice. Medium to full bodied with harmony, elegance, and length.
