  I’m getting some bottle variation, but all in a great QPR range. This one in the middle and, like all of them, Howell Mountain terroir is obvious. 2012 Napa was a peak for CHW and this is a prime example. The balance isn’t getting any better so drink up.

  Didn’t seem to have the depth of the previous bottle.

  Typical 2012 Howell Mountain. Let’s just call it Dunn junior. Lead pencil and black fruit. Well balanced with medium grain tannins and some pleasant grit on the finish. It’s in its happy place now. I’ll drink through the rest of the case in the next year. Great QPR.

  Quite ripe and sweet, not my style.

  Patient is paying off still a bold wine with sturdy tannins, but with a few hours of air it is quite good. QPR is great.
