Devin
You know, I´m absolutely at a loss as to what to say about this wine.

This wine was made as a memorial to winemaker Devin Tuuri-Derby, late winemaker of Spring Valley Vineyards.  The wine for it, eight barrels worth, was donated by eight of the best wineries in Walla Walla Valley.  It was made at Dunham Cellars.   It´s 70% Syrah, and the wine is, as you´d guess, absolutely spectacular.  The proceeds from it benefit Devin´s wife and son.  We´re selling it at $60.00, which is $5.00 over our cost, as we don´t really feel comfortable profiting from it.  Somewhat obviously, we can´t apply a discount to it!  I´m planning on having this wine for my Thanksgiving dinner, although it´ll certainly hold for several years.  199 cases were made, and I think we can get a bit more.
