RATINGS

91Wine Spectator

Beautifully orchestrated flavors. Ripe, smooth and supple, with spicy black cherry, olive, sage, cedar and lead pencil, turning rich and complex.

91Stephen Tanzer

...aromas of roasted black plum, macerated raspberries, maple syrup,leather and Worcestershire sauce. Terrific intensity and structure; sweet and smoky in the mouth, with the roasted character repeating. Finishes with dusty, fine tannins.

PRODUCER

Moraga Bel Air

Moraga Bel Air is a 16-acre property in the Santa Monica Mountains, within the city of Los Angeles. It is owned by Tom and Ruth Jones who purchased the property, a former horse ranch, in 1959. Tom Jones was the CEO of Northrup Corp. before retiring in 1989. Having experimented with grape growing on their property and winemaking, the couple released their first red wine in 1992 followed in 2000 by a white wine. Moraga Red is typically a large percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot. The Moraga White Table Wine is Sauvignon Blanc.
