Neal Family Wines
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. It’s where we’ve raised our kids and realized our family dream of owning and farming our land and creating the Neal Family brand of 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.

Above the Fog at Howell Mountain.
Learn more about what makes this Howell Mountain so unique in our blog "The Storied Howell Mountain Estate"
In 1983 Howell Mountain was named the first AVA within the greater confines of the Napa Valley AVA. Our Howell Mountain Estate sits at the southern tip of the AVA region, allowing our vines the benefits of the fog and the sun. What sets this small American Viticultural Area near Saint Helena apart from other wine regions is that its perimeter is not just by geographic borders but by altitude: All vineyards must be a minimum of 1,400 feet above sea level.

Sunset + 2023 Rutherford Dust Vermentino = magic
Elegant and fresh, the wine is perfectly balanced with acidity and richness, a versatile wine to share over enjoyable conversation and pair with an array of fresh cuisine ranging from sushi, shellfish, grilled prawns with salsa verde to elegant whole fish with pesto and early summer vegetables like artichokes, asparagus, and peas.

May in the Vineyards | Walking vintage number 58, an awesome sight as Mark Neal and the farming team are doing "clusters counts” awaiting flowering. Each flower on these clusters are self pollinating, a fascinating fact! Meanwhile, the bees are busy in our vegetable garden, cover crops and fruit orchard.

More than grapes and wine. 🐢 This guy was nestled under our cover crop in the vineyards and found by Alexios Neal.
This turtle has been saved and relocated to a safe near by habitat. The turtle will continue to enjoy a certified organic living environment.
