A brief history
Nemerever Vineyards is located in Oakville, California. We have six acres planted on both hillside and alluvial vineyard blocks. We make 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines, estate grown, produced and bottled.
An unsolicited commentary...
I've been simultaneously blessed and spoiled to enjoy some 80s and 90s Bordeaux over the past few years. After which, it's very difficult to "turn back" to the New World! I've really come to appreciate and desire that aged, nuanced, Old World profile.
With all of that said, your wines have impressed me as being old world in style and soul (at least to my palate), while truly representing your terroir. The polar opposite of some of the highly extracted, overly alcoholic fruit bombs seen from some of your neighbors! I love the subtlety and contemplative nature of the structure of your wines.
-- A loyal consumer
When, in 1997, we bought our land and home on the Oakville Cross Road in Napa Valley the property included a three-acre Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard that was planted in 1992. Justin Meyer of Silver Oak, a close friend of the family that sold us the property, selected the vines for replanting what was formerly Pinot Noir. This vineyard has produced the bulk of the wines made so far. In fact, wines in 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 were all produced using grapes from the original vineyard, now known as Block 1. The vines are planted in a 10’ by 6’ grid on undrained alluvial, heavy clay soil.
