LIFE | WINE Moreish Moraga Given the real estate prices in the chic Los Angeles district of Bel Air, it’s hard to believe 3.6 hectares of terraced vineyards exist amid the mansions and swimming pools. But that’s where Moraga Estate, one of the best producers of red in California, lies. The wine is a classic Bordeaux blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, cabernet franc and petit verdot.

"Rupert Murdoch's Fingerprints on Moraga Wines" Zester Daily
ZESTER DAILY 8·30·16 Corie Brown Rupert Murdoch’s Fingerprints On Moraga Wines A view of the Getty Center from the top of Moraga’s Bel Air vineyards. Credit: Copyright 2016 Zester Media Standing at the crest of Moraga Estate’s hillside vineyard, you can see Santa Monica Bay and feel the cool Pacific breezes that mark the estate’s wines. Moraga’s fruit ripens slowly, resulting in an elegance that eludes Bordeaux-style wines from Napa Valley and other California regions prone to heat spikes. But that’s not why this is possibly the most expensive vineyard acreage in the world. Moraga is located in Bel Air, the most exclusive of Los Angeles’ wealthy enclaves. On a recent visit to Moraga, I’m looking for a secondary mark on the wines, the mark of the current owner, billionaire media mogul Rupert Murdoch. Three years ago, with his marriage to Wendy Deng dissolving and a romance with Mick Jagger’s ex-wife Jerry Hall budding, Murdoch bought Los Angeles’ only post-Prohibition bonded winery and 13-acre estate for $28.8 million, an impetuous purchase sparked by an advertisement in The Wall Street Journal, one of his News Corp. properties. Little, if anything, has been written about the place or the wines since the sale. What changes has Murdoch made? 1 of 4 Rupert Murdoch’s Fingerprints On Moraga Wines Experienced hands at the helm The good news for wine lovers is that Scott Rich, the winemaker and viticulturist for the past 15 years, is still in charge. His summer instructions to the eight-member vineyard crew remain the same — handpick the leaves around the clusters to give them just the right amount of dappled sun and moisture-wicking breeze.

We hope that someday this could mean, among other things, Barron's TV show on the soon-to-be-launched Fox Business Channel, perhaps more distribution of Barron's content in places like India and China, and more investment in Barron's Online, so that, for example, readers can more easily exchange views on their investments. This will not mean any change in the standards of accuracy, fairness and authority that underpin our journalism. Readers rely on Barron to give them a front row seat on Wall Street, so we can let them know what professionals think - and let them know when we feel the pros got it wrong or pushed the trend too far.

Rupert Murdoch Owns a Lot of Things, Including This Vineyard in Bel-Air
Rupert Murdoch owns a lot of things, including this vineyard in Bel-Air PATRICK COMISKEY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2016 bonus. I very quickly fell in love.” This is a property once owned by Victor Fleming, director of “The Wizard of Oz” and “Gone with the Wind,” who built a home here in the same year that both films were produced, 1939. Fleming kept horses and boarded a few, including those of his friend Clark Gable. In 1959, Thomas V. Jones and his wife, Ruth, purchased the property. Jones spent many years staring at the gorse-choked hillsides that rose steeply up from the house before setting down vines in 1978. Moraga Estate’s first vintage came a decade later, in 1989, becoming, at the time, the first bonded winery established in Los upert Murdoch missed harvest this year at his home, Angeles since Prohibition.
