Why This Region Matters
The Templeton Gap District is named for the crucial break in the Santa Lucia mountains that channels cool Pacific air and fog into Paso Robles, making it one of the region's most balanced growing areas. The moderating maritime influence produces Rhône varieties, Cabernet, and Zinfandel with both Paso's generous fruit and welcome freshness and structure.
