I was deeply impressed with Zac Wasserman's wines this year. The 2015s are just as impressive as they were from barrel, but the 2016s appear to represent a meaningful move up in quality. Wasserman draws from a number of top sites in Santa Barbara for his compelling small-production wines.

Zac Wasserman works alongside Joey Tensley and also makes a small amount of wine under his own label. The 2015s, which I tasted from barrel, are all promising, while the 2014s are a bit less complete. Specifically, the 2014s are all a bit on the ripe side of things. The 2015s certainly aren't shy wines, but they have better overall balance. The wines often see a good amount of whole clusters, usually 25-50% depending on the vintage, and are aged in neutral oak.
