The Tepusquet Vineyard is located at the eastern-most portion of the Cambria estate on a downward slope that shelters the vines from Santa Maria's prevailing winds. While somewhat protected, this is still a cool location thanks to the influence of the Pacific Ocean. Once the site of a prehistoric river bed, the soils of Tepusquet are sandy, porous and well-draining. The unique terroir of the vineyard results in rich, ripe, highly concentrated wines with great balancing acidity.
