The 2021 vintage of Melinda's Rosé smells like summer in Provence – if you close your eyes, you can almost hear le chant des cigales. It is an intentional true rosé made in honor of Melinda Taplin.

The year began with abundant rainfall with a mild spring resulting in extended flowering. The summer was uneventful with temperatures slowly rising until a series of heat spikes followed by cool weather just before harvest.
