This magnificent 16-acre vineyard is located on Moraga Drive, Bel
Air, California, owned and managed by Tom and Ruth Jones. Tom is the
former CEO of Northrup Grumman, and the Joneses have nurtured the
establishment of Moraga Vineyards since the first grape wines were
planted in 1978. There are ten small vineyards on the canyon and
hillside property – each producing its own distinct character from
the total of 13,000 vines. They produce both a Moraga Red and Moraga
White, and Robert Parker commented in the “The Wine Advocate” (1995)
that “Moraga could easily be mistaken for a top-flight Bordeaux.”
Scott Rich serves as the winemaker; Carols Contreras is the vineyard
manager. Contact:
