Dark plum and raspberry aromas with rose and hints of thyme, mushroom and anise.Sweet fruited and weighty on entry with good volume. Plum, cherry and a touch of blackberry leaf fill the mid-palate and spill onto the finish. A nice fruit, acid and tannin balance adds tension and length.This Marlborough Pinot Noir goes well with beef and lamb. Would make a great partner for a steak and mushroom casserole.
