Mr Mick Cabernet Merlot
Clare Valley
Price Range at Release: $12-$19
Vintage: 2019
Alc %: 14.2
$ Rel: 18
A solid, flavoursome Clare cabernet blend whose ripe and faintly minty aromas of dark plums, cassis, mulberries and creamy vanilla oak reveals a hint of cigarbox. Backed by a firm, drying chalky spine, it's richly flavoured but remains polished and approachable.

Mr Mick
Tim Adams' second label is a traditional and eclectic collection of table wines suited to the young, contemporary market. They're inexpensive, well made, delightfully fresh and expressive, often over-delivering in the marketplace by some margin - as the current collection certainly does. Just a few decades ago a young Tim Adams cut his winemaking teeth working for Leasingham under the mentorship of one of the Clare Valley's most famous winemakers and people, Mick Knappstein. An inseparable bond was formed, so when Tim and his wife Pam Goldsack were able to but the historic old Leasingham winery from Constellation Wines (now Accolade) in 2010, it was only natural to them to name the wines they made there after Mr Mick himself. The site is now a superb place to visit, chill, taste or dine.
