THOUGHTS FOR 2016
Thoughts – The Market Has Changed!
• Market Has Changed – Buyers back to being buyers again – for now
• Shorter supply could push producers to take bottle price increases or change sourcing plan
• Sellers selling too cheap; Buyers paying to much – The Dance Continues
• Older Vintage bulk wine will continue to challenge some producers
• Global dynamics of wine business with a strengthening dollar
• What is a normal crop? That answer has a big effect on the future supply/demand?

2015 Market Overview Napa
• Year started out strong for Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel (not a lot of expiring contracts)
• First quarter quiet for Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Merlot
• Bloom was early and extended, cluster counts looked good• Market started to heat up as season progressed and
cluster weights/crop size diminished• Wineries realized crop was light and made sure almost all
available tons were bought up before harvest

2015 Market Overview Sonoma (looks a lot like Napa)
• Year started out strong for Cabernet Sauvignon with very few tons coming out of contract
• First quarter quiet for Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel and Merlot
• Bloom was early and extended, cluster counts looked good• Market started to heat up as season progressed and
cluster weights/crop size diminished• Pinot Noir had a few active buyers, especially when it
looked like the crop could be off by 25% or more • Wineries realized crop was light and made sure almost all
available tons were bought up before harvest

Questions going into 2016…Viticulture
• Will we have another drought year? What will that mean for crop size,
water use, and disease pressure?
• Will we continue to see a significant increase in damage from Eutypa and
Pierce’s?
• Will red blotch show up in any of our new plantings or existing vineyards?
• Are there areas of improvement learned from last year? New
sprays/sprayers, new equipment, cover crops, trellis systems, etc.?
• Do we have vineyards that had poor quality or declining quality in 2015?

• What contracted or expired vineyards need to be replanted?
• What quality/yield ratios are we looking for?
• Are there any unique varieties out there we should try?
• Are there planting opportunities? Where? For what?
• Are there water issues to deal with? Recycled water, district
limits?

sustainability?
