When you first approach the 2022 Dark Matter Limitless, the aromatics are immediately captivating, with layers of blackberry, black currant, and boysenberry lifted by rose petal, wild herbs, and a touch of dark cocoa that always reminds me of freshly baked chocolate cake. On the palate, you will find blackberry and black cherry accented by a hint of black tea leaf, carried by velvety tannins and bright acidity that brings Bing cherry through the finish.
The Sisters harvested the fruit nearly eight weeks earlier than normal, responding to heat spikes and guided by daily walks through the vineyard. That precision allowed Angelina to capture the wine at its most vibrant and expressive ripeness, exactly as she envisioned.
We recommend decanting this wine for at least one hour before enjoying it.

The 2021 growing season in Napa Valley brought exceptional drought conditions, yielding smaller crops with intensely concentrated fruit. Thanks to cool nights, abundant sunshine, and minimal heat spikes, the vintage delivered perfectly ripened berries with remarkable structure and vibrancy—hailed by winemakers as a dream year.
Our 2021 Dark Matter Zinfandel is a bold reflection of this brilliance, offering an exotic nose of black, white, and pink peppercorn, pomegranate, red plum, raspberry, currant, clove, nutmeg, Bing cherry, cranberry, green tea leaf, and a whisper of cedar. On the palate, it explodes with velvety tannins and bright acidity, showcasing layers of black and white pepper, pomegranate, plum, red and black cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate-covered pomegranate, black tea leaf, semi-dark chocolate, thyme, nutmeg, and clove.
This vintage is a celebration of contrast and harmony—bold in character, elegant in finish, and crafted to be savored now or cellared for years to come.
