This is a mixed set of wines from Gavin Chanin. I found the Chardonnays to be terrific. The Pinots, on the other hand, are light in body, depth and structure, even within the realm of more restrained Santa Barbara wines, to the point of knocking the wines off balance. The Los Alamos and Sta. Rita Hills bottlings fared best.

Ryan Deovlet’s 2017s are gorgeous. The Pinots and Chardonnays are all strong. As always, the wines here are understated and finessed in style, with a high degree of site character that makes them compelling. New oak is in the 20-30% range. Some of the Pinots are done with whole clusters, but stem character is nicely integrated and never overpowering. Deovlet always shows his appellation Pinot and Chardonnay after the vineyard designates, and they never suffer in comparison.
