Nemerever Vineyards, located in Oakville, Napa Valley, was founded in 1997 by Bill and Ginger Nemerever, who split their time between Boston and Napa. Bill, a former investment banker, and Ginger were inspired to establish a vineyard after years of visiting Napa. They purchased a 10.1-acre property that was previously a dairy farm, initially planting Cabernet Sauvignon on three acres. Over time, they expanded their vineyard with the help of Justin Meyer, co-founder of Silver Oak, and now have multiple blocks with varying soil types. As one of Napa's smallest producers, Nemerever produces around 250 cases annually, primarily Cabernet Sauvignon and a secondary wine called Complement. The winemaking transitioned to Jeff Ames in 2015, resulting in a style that emphasizes richness and balance, with alcohol content typically above 15%. The wines are known for their complexity and aging potential, showcasing flavors of dark fruits, spices, and well-integrated tannins. Visitors can experience the vineyard's unique cave winery, which is among the larger production spaces relative to its size. Overall, Nemerever Vineyards offers a personalized and intimate wine tasting experience reflective of its small-scale production.
