The 2016 vintage of Moraga Red tells a story of resilience and excellence in the face of extremes. A continuation of California’s drought years, 2016 brought not only limited rainfall but also the highest temperature Moraga had ever recorded—112°F in June. Though the heat caused significant loss in the vineyard’s most exposed blocks, meticulous vineyard management and cluster selection resulted in a concentrated, small-lot harvest. The resulting wine reflects the full depth and complexity of Moraga’s distinctive Bel Air terroir.

Winemaking:
Each block was hand-harvested, triple sorted (cluster, destemmed berry, and color), and fermented with native yeast. Fermentations were hand-punched up to seven times daily, followed by extended maceration. The wine was aged 21 months in 100% new French oak and then bottle-aged nearly two years prior to release.

Pairing:
Perfect with grilled ribeye, lamb tagine, wild mushroom risotto, or hard aged cheeses like Comté or Manchego.

Points:
Not rated, but described as one of the most terroir-expressive vintages in the estate’s history.

Format / ABV:
750 ml / Approx. 14.5%

The 2016 Moraga Red opens with an intricate bouquet of boysenberry, blackberry, and cassis, layered with floral violets, sandalwood, cola, and hints of cardamom and fresh tobacco. The palate is rich and powerful, with seamless, fine-grained tannins and dense fruit tones of black currant and ripe boysenberry. A mineral-driven backbone and bright acidity provide structure and a long, mouthwatering finish. Concentrated yet refined, this vintage is a true reflection of Moraga’s singular landscape and climate.
