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.

Gavin Chanin said that his initial fears that the 2012 pinots would turn out on the soft side and in need of relatively early drinking have turned out to be unfounded: "It (2012) has turned out to be a fantastic year, with more finesse than the wines showed initially and also more structure." He added that he thinks "the 2013s should be more approachable than the 2012s and will be great for restaurants and people who like extroverted fruit." Ten percent new French oak is used across across the board here.
