I am just posting my comments as one further answer. Every locally complete intersection scheme is Gorenstein (and Cohen-Macaulay). Is a generic determinantal variety Gorenstein? For morphisms from a rank $e$ locally free sheaf to a rank $f$ locally free sheaf and the generic determinantal variety where the rank of the morphism is $\leq r$, Goto proves that the generic determinantal variety is not Gorenstein if both $e\neq f$ and $r\neq 0$, i.e., if it is Gorenstein then either $e$ equals $f$ or $r$ equals $0$ (or both). Also, for $r=1$ and $e=f\leq 5$, Goto proves that the generic determinantal variety is Gorenstein. Here is the reference.

When do the determinantal ideals define Gorenstein rings?.
