Frankcomb Pinot Noir 2023 from Frankcomb in Tasmania’s Huon Valley is a cool‑climate pinot that trades on perfume, finesse and savoury detail rather than sheer weight, delivering serious quality at the more premium end of Tassie pinot. The 2023 Frankcomb Pinot Noir leads with aromas of black cherry and dark plum layered over warm spice, forest floor and a hint of black tea, giving a beautifully complex, autumnal nose that still feels vibrant and pure.

On the palate it sits in the medium‑bodied camp, with juicy red and black cherry fruit framed by fine, silky tannins and a line of cool‑climate acidity that keeps everything fresh and driven rather than jammy. Those savoury notes of earth, spice and tea leaf weave through the fruit, adding depth and length without tipping into heaviness, making this a genuinely elegant, age‑worthy Huon Valley pinot.

Food‑wise, Frankcomb Pinot Noir 2023 is spot‑on with roast duck, crispy skin chicken or pork belly, where its acidity cuts through the richness while the dark‑cherry and spice characters lock in with the crispy, caramelised edges. It will also shine alongside mushroom risotto, grilled salmon or charcuterie and washed‑rind cheeses, making it a brilliant Tasmanian red for both weeknight roasts and more serious dinner parties.
