This year of lockdown we haven't seen as many friends at Moraga as we would have liked, but we have been visited by eagles, hawks and quails. We have.
While many thought the drought ended with the first substantial rains that we had seen in many years, Moraga only received a scant 8" during the 2015/2016.
The second of two the driest consecutive years on record, the 2013 season began about a week early in response to the droughty soils and a February and March.
Our Moraga Canyon estate vineyard has ancient marine soils and a distinct microclimate that clearly differentiates the property from other California appellations.
Moraga's 2007 growing season started off at the end of a drought period, so the vines began their growth cycle with less soil moisture than normal.
The 1992 growing season provided Moraga with a bountiful crop. Extensive crop thinning ensured proper fruit concentration and a warm, sunny September made.
