Thread Feathers Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2023 is made by Neil Coke, a veteran Napa winemaker and barrel insider who decided long ago that the traditional Napa pricing model was broken. Instead of chasing $300 price tags, Neil sources elite fruit and prices his wines where people can actually drink them. And this fruit is the real deal: 100% Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, from one of Napa’s most revered and expensive terroirs. Howell Mountain delivers everything Napa Cab lovers crave — elevation, minerality, cool nights, structure, and ageworthiness — but almost nothing from this mountain sells under $100. Almost nothing. The 2023 vintage is outstanding on Howell Mountain, with long hang time, perfect ripeness, and natural balance. The wine was aged in 100% French oak with just over one-third new barrels, and only 325 cases were produced. In the glass, it’s dark ruby, layered, peppery, mineral-driven, and spicy, with a developing sweet core that rewards decanting and patience. Here’s the kicker: it sells for $60 at the winery. We’re offering it at $39.98. This is serious, cellar-worthy Napa Cabernet that drinks like it should cost double, easily. If you want real Howell Mountain character without the Napa tax, this is a must-buy.
