Beatrice Cointreau is a 20th generation winemaker who moved to Malibu, where she makes this blend of 98% Viognier and 2% Chardonnay. It shows delicate lemon wedges, ripe nectarine and melon, lime zest and tangerine juice on the nose. The palate combines lime peels with riper peach and pineapple notes in the midpalate.
