Match it with roasted duck. I had a large grilled chicken breast with herbs with this wine.

Jane Staples rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

This beautiful Marlborough Pinot shows concentrated tart cherry, vanilla, baking spice, sous bois and milk chocolate with an aromatic nose and finely balanced palate. Aged 16 mos in French oak barriques. Showcases fine New Zealand winemaking. Highly versatile with food, from duck to turkey to chocolate mousse.

Natalie's Review

Wither Hills Pinot Noir 2014, Marlborough, South Island, New Zealand: This generous Pinot Noir was aged for 16 months in French oak barriques. A lovely, layered New Zealand Pinot Noir, with luscious notes of cherries and plums on the nose and palate. Silky smooth texture and medium body. Pair with seared tuna or roast turkey.
