Crafted in Lodi by Rose and Greg Nemet — guided by Armenian winemaking roots that stretch back 6,000 years and a conviction that the best wine tells a story worth keeping.
Kareen is not just a label. It is the Armenian city from which Rose Nemet’s family carries its history — a place where wine has been made for longer than most civilizations have existed. In 2010, Rose and Greg began translating that inheritance into California Malbec, one harvest at a time.
“We didn’t choose Malbec because it was fashionable. We chose it because it reminded us of something older — something that deserved to be remembered.”
— Rose & Greg Nemet, WinemakersLodi’s ancient soils, extreme diurnal temperature swings, and century-old vine roots produce fruit of unusual concentration. It is why Malbec thrives here in ways it does nowhere else in California.
