Neal Family Vineyards
Neal Family Vineyards operates in Napa Valley, where the region's volcanic soils and maritime-influenced climate create conditions for structured, age-worthy reds. The winery focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah from distinguished vineyard sites. Its Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain, sourced from the region's high-elevation benchland known for concentrated fruit and mineral tension, has earned recognition from Wine Enthusiast. The Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Dust Vineyards draws from the famous Rutherford bench, where gravelly soils impart the characteristic dusty tannin structure the appellation is named for. A Petite Sirah from the same Rutherford Dust Vineyards rounds the portfolio—a variety that thrives in Napa's warm days and cool nights, developing deep color and peppery spice. These wines reflect the precision of their terroir and the winery's commitment to single-vineyard expression.
