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.
