“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.

90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!
91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
Always the one with the most personality of the bunch, this is what Wine Enthusiast had to say about the 2021 release: “This extremely ripe and bold style of Pinot Noir will please those seeking such lushness. Dark in the glass, it begins with black cherry, toasty caramel and cola milk shake aromas.” The cool, coastal days and abundance of sunshine lines up perfectly for a wine that has a good natural acidic backbone, with bold fruit-forward flavors. In an easy 2021 vintage, Joe Wagner had a field day with this single-vineyard beauty.
96 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 96 Points, Decanter
96 Points from Robert Parker himself along with extremely high praise. “The wine hits all cylinders in 2010.” This is one the great Margaux wines of the vintage. Probably the greatest Lascombes made to date…” Add in 10 years of aging with perfect provenance and you have our top Bordeaux offer of the year. A third of the price of Palmer and a mere tenth of Château Margaux – $139 per bottle & free shipping on 2. You’ll want two.
