Also recommended, but no tasting note given.
Dusted Valley was started in 2003 by two couples from Wisconsin - the Johnsons and the Braunels, with backgrounds in sales and food service - who learned winemaking as they went along, and have clearly been quite successful. They have purchased (and farm) or taken out long-term leases on four estate vineyards in Walla Walla and have plans for a dedicated production facility to handle Dusted Valley's roughly 4,000 cases, which are supplemented a high-volume second label called Boomtown that I did not have opportunity to experience. While nothing about their vinificatory methods stood out as striking, it's clear that these folks have adventurous spirits, considering their rather off-beat marketing as well as the fact that the length of elevage for reds varies from as few as 10 to as many as 24 months and often includes a share of Wisconsin oak.
