Best Buy! Vintage after vintage, Dusted Valley Vintners shines with its Yakima Valley Chardonnay program from the Olsen family, so it makes sense that their Boomtown line – which also pulls Chardonnay from the Yakima Valley – would over-deliver at this price point. The use of neutral oak allows the fruit profile to emerge on the aromas and on the palate, ranging from starfruit, lime and apricot to Bosc pear. It’s easy to enjoy as its pleasing mouthfeel and food-friendly finish of Rainier cherry juice sets the table for suggested pairings with hard cheeses and roasted chicken. The Braunel and Johnson families with Wisconsin roots collaborate on their Boomtown line with Dreyfus, Ashby & Co., the international distributor based in New York that also represents the Northwest projects for Drouhin and Coppola families.
