Now wait just a consarned minute here. Something’s gotta be afoot. Sure, Dusted Valley Winery’s Boomtown lineup was recently named one of the “Value Brands of the Year” by Wine and Spirits, but this value seems a little too, uh, valuable. Three bottles of this high-quality
Washington stuff for this piddling pittance of a price? What’s the
story, Lori?

Litigation, that’s what. It seems the sharp, snappy label on the 2004 Stomp Cabernet Sauvignon (Boomtown’s predecessor) was just a little too similar to another, well-established, deep-pocketed winery’s label.
We’re talking about the kind of outfit that keeps a trademark attorney
on staff just waiting to pounce on the likes of Dusted Valley. They
made their displeasure known. But rather than get into a scuffle they
probably can’t win, Dusted Valley decided that steep discounts were the
better part of valor. They turned to Wine.Woot to help them unload all
this Stomp Cab before it becomes a bigger issue.

So not only
will you receive a graceful, enticing Cab laden with bright fruit,
earth, and olive aromas; flavors of cherry, currant, and mineral; and a
lingering, toasty, sweet finish – you’ll also get a bonafide contraband
collectible. Pair it with grilled dry-rubbed ribeye or a blue
cheeseburger for a barely-legal outlaw’s repast. Intellectual property
disputes never tasted so good.

The other two bottles aren’t
in legal trouble, except maybe as accessories. They’re just along for
kicks. Bringing together some of the Evergreen State’s top vineyards
for a wild co-ferment of Syrah and Viognier, the 2006 Dusted Valley
Stained Tooth Syrah fills the air and the glass with cherry,
blackberry, and currant flavors. Don’t be surprised if you catch a hint
of herbs, smoke, or cracked black pepper, too. It’ll be worth every
stain on your teeth.

They take their Merlot seriously up
Washington way, and they don’t take kindly to watered-down weaklings.
Just set your tongue to the 2004 Boomtown Merlot Columbia Valley, a
dark, rich, downright burly Merlot that delivers dark berry fruit,
plum, earth, and creamy oak. If you’ve got any seared duck breast with
plum demiglaze laying around, you’ve just found the perfect companion
for it.

It’s too bad Dusted Valley has to jettison the
Stomp! label over some legal shenanigans, but pardon us for not
shedding too many tears. A swell deal on three solid Washington wines
does wonders in the consolation department. Still, it’s probably a good
thing Dusted Valley didn’t go with their original concept for naming
that wine: Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse Cabernet.
