“Zac Wasserman is without question one of the most talented young winemakers in Santa Barbara. His wines seem to get better and better with every vintage.”
That’s what Antonio Galloni had to say recently when tasting through the Frequency’s current lineup. Nothing Zac made scored less than 90-points. That’s because from the top down, his entire lineup is rock-solid. If you’re looking for the best bang for the buck amongst $90 single-vineyard bottlings, though, it’s gotta be his under $30 GSM. The first wine he ever made, it’s still his calling-card in So. Cal.
Galloni said, “over the last few years the wine have gained in freshness which is a huge positive given that richness comes pretty naturally in [Zac’s] sites.” Then he dropped a 93-point review on the 2020 bottling, calling it “plump and juicy.” That’s exactly what you’re looking for in Santa Barbara big reds.
But this one also comes with a 92-94 point review courtesy of Jeb Dunnuck who labels this one “a terrific GSM in the making” and “easily an outstanding wine, if not more than that” – further proof, if you needed it, that this is the bottle you need in your cellar from the rising star.

92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck
The 2020 GSM should easily be an outstanding wine, if not more than that. Lots of wild strawberry and blueberry fruits, notes of herbes de Provence and pepper, medium to full body, and a seamless texture all made for a terrific GSM blend in the making.
91-93 Points, Antonio Galloni- Vinous
The 2020 GSM is a plump, juicy wine that will drink well right out of the gate. Pliant fruit and silky tannins give the GSM so much immediacy. Bright red/purplish fruit, spice and rose petals all open effortlessly in the glass.

93 Points, James Suckling (Top 100 Wines of Italy)
If you’re looking for arguably the best expression of Rufina each year, you can’t do any better than Selvapiana. Located right in the heart of Chianti Rufina in Tuscany, the producer has long been considered one of the very best. Wine Spectator declared a few years back, “Selvapiana would give stiff competition to first-class red wines from just about anywhere else in the world. It also shows that Chianti Classico does not have a monopoly on the quality of Chianti as a whole.”
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
92 Points, Vinous – 91 Points, Wine Spectator
Feudo Montoni has been one of the best producers in Italy for literally hundreds of years, most notably for their work with Nero D’Avola grape in Sicily. It’s a gorgeous expression at such a good price. The 2020 “Lagnusa” is the perfect pizza or Thanksgiving wine with juicy black fruits, grippy tannins and a wonderful, fresh and herbaceous finish. Vinous Media gave the wine 92 points and raved, calling it “remarkably fresh yet long, leaving the mouth watering while still resonating on hints of blackberry.” You’re going to love this.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
