4/19/2024 - AllRed wrote: 93 pointsFriday Group Brown Bag Tasting (EBCC): Blind. Dark color. Notes of blackberry, raw beef, mont and chocolate. Full-bodied. Flavors of blackberry and chocolate with a lingering finish. Still has some tannin to integrate as well. Drinking much younger than I would have guessed. This had been double decanted about three hours before the flight was poured. |

4/12/2024 - davidandrose Likes this wine: NRAfter one hour in the decanter, the nose is very fragrant; all sorts of flowers, white pepper, and freshly hewn wood. Still very dark and tight across the palate, which is dominated by tar And take grand tannins that don't rest as heavy as one might expect from Howell Mountain this young in the wines life. |

4/6/2024 - PMJak11 Likes this wine: 95 pointsThis was great! Reminded me of all those great Bordeaux’s we had while in London. 1hr+ decant. Purple color with maroon tones. Dominated by cedar on the nose and palate. Medium plus depth and finish, which had some olives/CDP on it. Well integrated tannins with a nice sweetness. |

2021 Neal Family Vineyards Vermentino Rutherford Dustmore |
4/4/2024 - spectrumphoto Likes this wine: 94 pointsWas a great Easter addition, especially for the lovers of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, as the Vermentino has similar characteristics. Fresh and fun, bright stone fruit and great roundness overall. |

2016 Neal Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain Estatemore |
3/15/2024 - AaronJCohen Likes this wine: NROpened at home. The wine had bright red fruit on the nose with some slight earthy notes and sweet tobacco on the pallet. It was soft and had mild tenants for 2016 I was surprised at the lack of depth and lack of darkness from the fruit, but overall quality product that probably can still sit For a few more years |

3/8/2024 - davidandrose Likes this wine: 90 pointsFrom 500ml, love this format! Right out of the bottle I caught a little port like funk on the nose so I decanted; while it remained after 90 mins it had blown off after 3 hrs (or my nose was shot at that point.) |

1/7/2024 - nick&nora Likes this wine: NRAnother great wine from Mark and family. As is common in our experience with some of the Neals from this era, the cork, which appeared intact, crumbled as it was extracted. No harm done to the juice, though: very solid. |
