There’s Still Time to Talk Cabernet
Lytton Manor Vineyard has 2026 Dry Creek Valley Cabernet Sauvignon available and is inviting offers from interested wineries.
The vineyard is projecting approximately 45–50 tons this season. Originally planted in 1988, the 12-acre site was replanted in 2019 with Cabernet Sauvignon clones 30 and 47 on 1103P rootstock. The property sits between Ridge’s Lytton Springs Vineyard East and West in Dry Creek Valley.
There’s also flexibility when it comes to bringing the fruit in. The two primary blocks can be mechanically harvested, or the full vineyard can be hand harvested, with harvest costs handled by the buyer. When the listing was posted, the vineyard was just finishing veraison and the grower estimated at least another 30 days before harvest.
For wineries still looking to fill a Cabernet need for 2026, this may be the moment to start a conversation. The grower also has 2025 Cabernet Sauvignon samples available for buyers interested in seeing what the vineyard produced last vintage.
Harvest may be getting closer, but that doesn’t mean every sourcing decision has already been made.
The WIN Marketplace helps growers put remaining fruit in front of wineries that may still have production needs, while giving buyers a place to discover opportunities that emerge as crop estimates become clearer and harvest plans take shape.
And the Marketplace goes well beyond grapes. Bulk wine, used equipment, winery real estate, and professional services all have a place to reach a targeted wine-industry audience.

A Different Side of the Wine World
Most of the opportunities we feature revolve around familiar California varieties, vineyard sourcing, bulk wine, equipment, and winery services.
This one takes us considerably farther afield.
RHESUS MAVRUD 2022 comes from Bulgaria’s Thracian Valley and is made from 100% Mavrud, an indigenous Bulgarian red grape with deep roots in the country’s wine culture.
For many U.S. wine professionals, Mavrud may not be a variety they encounter every day. That’s exactly what makes the listing interesting. It offers a glimpse into a wine region, grape variety, and winemaking tradition that sits well outside the usual Cabernet-Pinot-Chardonnay conversation.
And that’s part of what makes an industry marketplace useful. Sometimes you go looking for something specific. Other times, you discover something you didn’t know was out there.
The wine industry is a much bigger world than the varieties, regions, and products we encounter every day.
That’s part of the value of the WIN Marketplace. Alongside familiar opportunities in grapes, bulk wine, used equipment, real estate, and professional services, there’s always the possibility of discovering something unexpected.
For sellers, the Marketplace creates another way to put a distinctive opportunity in front of a targeted wine-industry audience. For buyers, it creates a place to explore what’s out there, including things they may not have thought to search for in the first place.

A little bit of Italy in Dry Creek Valley
Not every vineyard opportunity needs to be measured in dozens of tons.
This new WIN Marketplace listing offers just 2–3 tons of 2026 Sangiovese from a one-acre Dry Creek Valley vineyard in Healdsburg. The vines were planted in 2008 and have been organically managed for nine years, with an unusual vineyard detail: they're interplanted with olive trees in a traditional Italian-inspired approach designed to encourage biodiversity.
The block features FPS01 Sangiovese on 101-R rootstock, planted in clay, loam, and gravelly soils. The seller describes fruit showing bright cherry, plum, and raspberry character, crisp acidity, and moderate tannins. The asking price is $2,800 per ton.
At this stage of August, a smaller lot can be particularly interesting for a winery looking to add something distinctive without building an entire program around a large vineyard commitment.
Harvest doesn't always leave room for a complete change of plans. Sometimes, though, the right smaller opportunity can still fit.
The WIN Marketplace helps wineries discover fruit in a wide range of varieties, regions, and volumes, alongside bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. Whether you're filling one last sourcing need, looking for something outside your usual program, or trying to get your own availability in front of the industry, the Marketplace gives those opportunities a place to be found.

Russian River Pinot Worth a Closer Look
If you're looking at Pinot Noir opportunities right now, here's one worth a closer look.
New on the WIN Marketplace is an estate-grown Russian River Valley Pinot Noir from a vineyard that is both Certified Sustainably Farmed and Certified Fish-Friendly Farming. The wine comes in at under 14% alcohol and is currently stored in Sebastopol in both tank and barrel.
Those details make this more than another generic bulk Pinot offering. There's a clear regional identity, estate provenance, documented farming practices, and flexibility in how the wine is currently being held.
And the timing is interesting. With the 2026 harvest beginning to command more attention in the cellar, August isn't only about what's coming in. It's also a useful moment to evaluate existing wine and determine where the right lot could strengthen a future program.
There's more than one way to solve a sourcing need.
Sometimes the answer is fruit for the next crush. Sometimes it's bulk wine already in the cellar. And sometimes it's equipment, services, or another connection that helps a winery make the next move.
That's the role of the WIN Marketplace: bringing those opportunities together in one industry-focused destination. As harvest activity ramps up, buyers and sellers can use the Marketplace to see what's available now, make direct connections, and keep business moving through one of the busiest stretches of the year.

Looking for Howell Mountain Cabernet?
When harvest is this close, a vineyard's track record matters.
Available for the 2026 vintage is Cabernet Sauvignon from Ponderosa Vines, a 1.9-acre vineyard sitting at approximately 2,000 feet on Howell Mountain. Planted in 2001, the vineyard features Entav clone 191 on 110R rootstock, with cane-pruned vines and tight 4x4 spacing.
The grower reports an average harvest of approximately 6.5 tons, but there's another detail that stands out for wineries still evaluating fruit: 2021 and 2022 vintages from the vineyard are available to sample.
At this point in August, sourcing decisions are becoming increasingly concrete. Having the opportunity to evaluate previous vintages can add valuable context to the vineyard specifications and help winemakers determine whether the site fits what they're looking for before making a 2026 commitment.
For wineries still searching for Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, this is a sourcing conversation worth having while there's still time before harvest.
Every winery has its own way of finding the right fruit.
Sometimes it's an appellation that starts the search. Sometimes it's a vineyard's farming, elevation, clone, or production history. And sometimes the opportunity to taste what a site has produced in previous vintages helps turn a promising lead into the right sourcing relationship.
The WIN Marketplace helps bring those opportunities into view, connecting wineries and growers alongside listings for bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. With harvest getting underway and sourcing decisions becoming increasingly time-sensitive, it's a place to see what's still available and start the conversations that can shape the next vintage.

Cabernet Without Another Crush
Harvest may be arriving, but not every sourcing opportunity starts with grapes.
As wineries prepare for the 2026 vintage, this is also a time for taking stock of existing wine, identifying gaps in future programs, and making decisions about what belongs in the cellar after harvest.
New on the WIN Marketplace is a Cabernet Sauvignon bulk wine offering produced from clone 169 on 110R rootstock. The wine is currently stored at Razzi Winery, with the seller highlighting its beautiful color and outstanding taste.
For wineries evaluating Cabernet needs, an existing bulk wine lot can offer a very different kind of flexibility than sourcing additional fruit. Whether there's a blending need to fill, an existing program to supplement, or room for another Cabernet bottling, this is an opportunity to see whether the wine fits the plan.
And with harvest getting underway, knowing what's already available can be just as valuable as knowing what's coming off the vine.
Every winery has its own path to growth.
Some opportunities begin in the vineyard. Others are already in the cellar, giving wineries the flexibility to fill a production need, strengthen an existing program, or explore something new without adding another crush to the calendar.
The WIN Marketplace helps bring those opportunities together, connecting buyers and sellers across grapes, bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. With harvest getting underway and wineries balancing incoming fruit with existing inventory, it's a place to discover what the industry has available right now.

Dry Creek Valley Sangiovese Available Now
Sometimes the right addition to a wine program isn't another truckload of fruit. It's 540 gallons of something different.
Now available on the WIN Marketplace is 540 gallons of 2024 Sangiovese from Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County. The wine is 100% Sangiovese and organically farmed, offering buyers an opportunity to explore a varietal that sits a little outside the usual California sourcing conversation.
That distinction can be particularly useful this time of year. With the 2026 harvest arriving and production teams preparing for incoming fruit, wineries are also evaluating existing inventory and thinking about what comes next. A focused volume like this could offer flexibility for a winery looking to supplement an existing Sangiovese program, explore a new bottling, or add something different to its portfolio.
Every winery has its own path to growth.
Some opportunities begin in the vineyard. Others are already in the cellar, offering wineries the flexibility to supplement an existing program, explore a new varietal, or fill a specific need without waiting for another vintage.
The WIN Marketplace helps bring those opportunities together, connecting buyers and sellers across grapes, bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. With harvest approaching and planning happening on both sides of the crush pad, it's a place to discover what the industry has available right now.

There's Still Time to Source Carneros Pinot
At this point in the season, a good Pinot Noir opportunity isn't just about finding available tons. It's about knowing where those tons are coming from.
This 2026 Contessa de Carneros Pinot Noir comes from a Los Carneros site that has supplied fruit to Frank Family for the past decade. The vineyard features stone-filled soils, low yields of just 2–3 tons per acre, and night harvesting to help bring the fruit in cool and intact. Approximately 8–10 tons are available, with buyers able to take part or all of the offering.
With August underway and harvest approaching, sourcing decisions are becoming decidedly less theoretical. For wineries still looking to round out their 2026 Pinot Noir program, this is an opportunity to connect with an established Carneros grower while fruit is still available.
Every winery has its own path to a successful vintage.
Some programs are built around long-standing vineyard relationships. Others take shape by discovering the right fruit at the right moment, even as harvest draws near.
The WIN Marketplace helps make those connections possible, bringing together wineries and growers alongside opportunities in bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. Whether you're filling a final sourcing need for 2026 or looking ahead to what's next, it's a place to discover opportunities from across the wine industry.

Some grapes are valued for what they contribute. Others are increasingly valued for what they can become.
Cabernet Franc has long been a cornerstone of Bordeaux-style blends, but in recent years it's also earned recognition as a compelling varietal in its own right. Known for its bright fruit, floral aromatics, and elegant structure, it gives winemakers remarkable flexibility while expressing a distinct personality of its own.
As we move into August, vineyard sourcing is entering its final stage. Harvest preparations are accelerating, crop estimates are becoming more certain, and wineries are making the last decisions about the fruit they'll bring into the cellar. Opportunities like this allow buyers to secure a versatile variety that can support both blending programs and distinctive single-varietal wines.
The final weeks before harvest are about more than securing fruit. They're about making decisions that shape the wines you'll be producing for years to come.
The WIN Marketplace helps wineries connect directly with growers offering premium vineyard opportunities, along with bulk wine, equipment, real estate, and professional services. Whether you're looking for a classic varietal or something that brings new possibilities to your cellar, the Marketplace is built to help the right buyers and sellers find one another.
