About Arbuckle Ridge
Arbuckle Ridge is named for the topographic ridge on the Peachy Canyon Road property — a natural landform that elevates the vineyard blocks above the valley floor and creates better air drainage, longer hang time, and the kind of diurnal temperature contrast that produces more complex fruit than low-lying valley sites achieve.
The Templeton Gap District estate produces Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from the ridge's well-drained, calcareous soils with the elevation advantage the name declares. The marine air that flows through the Templeton Gap each afternoon reaches the ridge first and cools it most consistently, making the Arbuckle Ridge position one of the District's most consistently marine-influenced elevated sites.
The daily walk-in tasting room on Peachy Canyon Road is dog-friendly, picnic-welcoming, and family-hospitable — the ridge's elevated character expressed as accessible West Side Paso Robles hospitality.
