“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.

#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.
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.
The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.
Winemaker Pascal Sirat consistently puts out some of the best value Bordeaux in the region but he may have outdone himself in what was a stellar 2019 vintage throughout the region. Just south of Pomerol, the vines at Panchille borrow deep in the soil. The resulting wines are ripe but fresh, with an aromatic complexity and stony finish usually reserved for wine twice the price. Daniel Boulud tells me it’s been the hottest bottle of wine at Bar Boulud for over a month, so I figured I’d better hurry up and secure my allocation! Don’t miss it.
