Zinfandel is a rare opportunity in the Washington bulk wine market. We have just gotten some great Zinfandel from the renowned Stone Tree Vineyard, now available for sale. The wine is plush and fruit driven, offering great length and density. PLease contact us for samples of this wine, as we don't expect it to last long.

2015 Outlook on Pacific Northwest Bulk Wines
Happy New Year to the Wine Industry. This year looks to be one full of tremendous opportunity in the wine business, especially as it pertains to bulk wines from the Pacific Northwest.
Washington and Oregon both had a high quality and record-setting harvests in terms of volume in 2014. There are over delivering values in 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah.
2013 Bordelais varieties are showing great promise from Washington, and are readily available between $18-22/gallon
There are bottle ready 2012s available at tremendous value in terms of price, quantity, and quality.
There are also great opportunities in aromatic whites from Oregon and Washington.
We open the 2015 vintage with nothing but opportunities and excitement on the horizon, and wish the same to all of you.
Happy New Year!
Bulk Activity Steady through Holidays
Most businesses see a dramatic slow down in weeks 51 and 52 of the year. The bulk wine market between Christmas and New Year's hasn't been the same case. We have sold 1,000 gallons of Oregon Pinot Gris, 600 gallons of Walla Walla Valley Cab, 480 gallons of Walla Walla Valley Roussanne, and 300 gallons of Chelan Pinot. We expect the bulk wine market between January and April to be fast moving with the high yield harvests in Washington and Oregon in 2014. A lot of good business opportunities out there.
Marsanne/Roussanne in Demand
These two Rhone varieties are in high demand and low supply this winter. Viognier is abundant, and a slow sell as not many buyers need any to supplement their programs. Roussanne and Marsanne however, have been in high demand, even in the normally slow month of December.
If you're a producer looking to unload some, we'd really like to help.
650 Gallons of Walla Walla Valley Cabernet sold to Napa
We had a big first at Bulk Wine Access. The first sale of Cabernet Sauvignon from a Walla Walla winery to a winery in the Napa Valley. 650 gallons of ultra premium Cabernet Sauvignon from an eponymous Walla Walla Valley winery. We are opening a lot of inroads between Pacific Northwest wineries and the North Coast of California. With an increasing interest in the quality price benefits in the Pacific Northwest, we expect this trend to continue and grow in 2015.
ENtrepreneurial Opportunities in Aromatic Whites
Due to the "arms race" between Hogue and Chateau Ste Michelle in the last 15 years to plant more and more Riesling, there is a superabundance of bulk RIesling available from the Pacific Northwest at the moment. It is not uncommon for tanker loads of Riesling to sell for under $5/gallon. Please contact us to discuss these opportunities at bulkwineaccess@gmail.com
