A 50% Gamay, 50% Pinot noir blend sourced entirely from Marin Estate Vineyard. Co-fermented in a passetoutgrains style, 100% wholecluster for about a month before pressing into a combination of neutral French and Oregon oak barrel. Impressive from the beginning of fermentation all the way through its time in barrel, Dark Wave is deeply-pigmented with loads of stemmy structure and rich fruit, held in check with nervy acidity.
