Gavin Chanin's 2013 Chardonnays are superb. The 2013 Pinots are less consistent, although they are better than the 2012s. Overall, I find the 2012 Pinots lacking in depth and intensity, as if only about 75% of the vineyard-specific signatures are being captured in these wines. Perhaps the yields were a bit on the high side, but there is little doubt the 2013 Pinots could be and should be more distinguished for a producer with Gavin Chanin's raw talent.
