Hardys HRB Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is a robust Australian red from the HRB line. It delivers a solid blackcurrant core with subtle oak spice, balanced acidity, and firm tannins. Ready to drink now with decanting, yet it has modest aging potential for short-term cellaring. A versatile, food-friendly choice for grilled beef, lamb, or hearty cheeses.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Deep ruby
- Aroma: Blackcurrant and blackberry, with plum, tobacco, cedar, and light vanilla oak
- Palate: Full-bodied; concentrated dark fruit, hints of dark chocolate; firm, grippy tannins; medium-plus acidity; integrated spice from oak

Note: Specifics may vary by bottle, but this captures the typical profile of the 2016 HRB Cabernet Sauvignon.
