In 1986 Barbara Banke and her husband, Jess
Jackson, bought the premium acres of the Tepusquet Vineyard with
the intent of establishing a family-owned estate property that
farmed and crafted exceptional wines. Since then, her vision has
become reality. Cambria has carved out a reputation for lush,
tropical Chardonnay, velvety-textured Pinot Noir and rich, spicy
Syrah, all grown on one contiguous property.
Today, Barbara continues to manage the winemaking facility and
supervise the vineyard operations. Barbara has also been
instrumental in developing and implementing all efforts to
promote and establish Cambria in the luxury wine market.
Barbara graduated from UCLA in 1975 with a Bachelor of Arts
degree. In 1978 she earned a J.D. at Hastings Law School.
Following her graduation, she specialized in land use and
constitutional law. Barbara established her own practice, taking
on a number of landmark cases, argued in the United States
Supreme Court and in several Courts of Appeal.
