Five Tons. One Napa Opportunity.

By late August, wineries generally aren’t rebuilding their entire sourcing plan. But a smaller lot can still solve a very real need.

This WIN Marketplace listing offers 5 tons of 2026 Cabernet Franc from a Napa Valley vineyard at approximately 1,200 feet elevation. The grower describes vines running down a north-to-south slope and fruit that produces a dark ruby color. Pricing is listed at $6,000 per ton and marked negotiable.

The scale is part of what makes this worth a look. Five tons could complement an existing Cabernet Franc program, provide another component for a Bordeaux-style blend, or give a winery the opportunity to work with a new Napa vineyard without taking on a large block.

There may also be a reason to think beyond 2026: the grower says another Cabernet Franc block is expected to come online in 2027 and currently has no contract.

At this stage of harvest, the question isn’t simply what fruit remains available. It’s whether a particular opportunity fits a specific need.

Late-season sourcing needs tend to be specific.

A winery may not need another vineyard block. It may need five tons of one varietal, a small amount of fruit to round out an existing program, or a new grower relationship that could continue into future vintages.

That’s where the WIN Marketplace can be particularly useful. It gives growers a place to make specific availability visible while giving wineries another way to see what’s still in the market, alongside opportunities in bulk wine, used equipment, real estate, professional services, and other parts of the wine business.
