Moraga Vineyards is a winegrowing estate in the hills of Bel Air, a residential community in the suburb of Los Angeles. The 16 acres, which Tom and Ruth Jones purchased over40 years ago, were first developed as a horse ranch in 1937. The Joneses were inspired to pursue winegrowing in Moraga Canyon because of the similar characteristics of its microclimate and soil to that found in the Bordeaux region of France. The soil differentiates Morgaga from other California appellations.
Submerged under the Pacific ocean for millions of years, the Los Angeles, basin was thrust upwards to create its current topography. As a result, Moraga has deep gravel beds in the canyon bottom and hillsides composed of an ancient seabed containing marine fossils and shells- ideal for growing high quality wine grapes.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
