“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.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
Winemaker Kian Tavakoli (Opus One, Clos du Val) continues to excel even while others struggle. In 2017, he still managed to deliver a beautiful and opulent Napa Valley Cabernet that’s both dark and juicy. The wine hails from both Coombsville and Rutherford, giving it distinct characteristics and a lot of drive. Deep ruby to the rim with excellent concentration, notes of Bing cherries, raspberry pie and hints of vanilla. On the palate, big wonderfully jammy fruit with young but impressive tannins and great length. The finish leaves notes of black cherry, and baked blueberry pie. Fantastic Napa value.
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
