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 sustainable 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.

“Our Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon started pollination last week, and now almost full bloom. Perfect weather like this where is not too hot nor rain events should bring us a great berry set for the 2023 season.” - Mark Neal sharing all the action from the vineyards this week.

Pouring a glass of our 2018 Howell Mountain Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 🍷
Rising from 1600 to 1750 feet above the Napa Valley floor, Neal Family Howell Mountain estate vineyard`s distinctive climate, along with volcanic and iron-rich red soils, produces fruit with great balance and intensity. This 2018 single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a clonal blend from our home property and showcases all the characteristics of Howell Mountain.
The soil series in the Howell Mountain AVA truly create a wine`s distinction. Some properties of the AVA region have Tuff soil while others have Aikin Clay. Tuff (pronounced tuhf like the English word tough) is a type of volcanic soil; however, it is sometimes classified as a sedimentary soil—however, it`s is formed via both volcanism and sedimentation. Aikin Clay, which is the rarest form of Tuff soil, is what comprises the soil at our Howell Mountain Estate. Our Howell Mountain label color is representative of this clay.
