Geneva, named after the town we call home, is a red blend worthy of the name. A full bodied red perfectly balanced with medium-high levels of mouthwatering acidity makes this wine perfect to sip with or without food. You are hit with a burst of fresh berry notes on the nose and then dried berries and black tea on the finish. Paired with lean meats are where this wine shines; lamb and mushroom dishes or pork tacos would be perfect!
