   Willian Lindstrom – November 8, 2013

   Great QPR. Restrained nose at first, but opens up after 2 hours. Effervescent acidity with red fruits, cooking herbs, wood, and bramble notes. Easy to drink and hard to stop pouring.

   Imogene Vega – December 24, 2013

   Excellent GSM blend with balanced fruit ratio and smokiness. Aged and opened up on the table, it envelops the senses. Vibrantly brooding and mineral with a stellar QPR.

   Correctly made wine, lacks excitement. Components may be more interesting than the blend.

    Christopher Davis – January 25, 2020

    Taste CA Wines by Zac Wasserman is a well-balanced blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre. Notes of cherries and toast with a tangy sweetness and slight bitterness to the dusty tannins. Deserves aging through 2020 and drinking into 2024. 92 pts Dunnuck. $21.99.

    luscious ripe black fruit, medium bodied, a bit short on the finish, drinking well now.

    Grover Brown – November 21, 2020

    Drinkable for $17, too sweet for me. Better for big parties with less discerning guests.

    Tannins too high now, but will mellow with age. Blueberries and violets present.

    Clyde Strong – November 17, 2021

    Rose red with aromas of strawberry jam, earth, and cinnamon. Medium-bodied with raspberry, white pepper, and tannins. Slightly sweet with a red fruit finish. Good for the price.

    Well-crafted wine, but requires 2-3 years to soften tannins.

    Alma Thom – February 5, 2023

    Dark ruby in color with juicy and aromatic notes of raspberry, blackberry, wild game, pepper, fennel, tar, clay, and wet leaves. Low tannin initially but finish persists nicely. Medium acidity and light to medium bodied.

    JD – May 24, 2023

    The only barrel sample I was able to taste, the 2021 GSM Santa Barbara County showed beautifully, and if this wine is any indication, this estate didn’t miss a beat in 2021. Giving up pretty blue fruits, peppery herbs, and sappy flower nuances, it’s medium to full-bodied, has terrific tannins, and an elegant yet textured style that will drink nicely right out of the gate.

    VIN – May 24, 2023

    The 2021 GSM is a promising wine. Deep and beautifully layered in the glass, with terrific vibrancy, the GSM is marked by gorgeous purity in its red/purplish fruit and terrific balance. It is the only 2021 that had been racked at the time of my visit, but also a wine that portends well for the vintage if its representative of quality across the range.
