Rutherford Hill Merlot Napa Valley 2021 750ml

Trifecta Reposado represents the middle path to perfection, where the trinity of agave, oak, and time first come together. This golden expression shows the trifecta taking shape, as barrel aging adds the second crucial element to create increasing complexity and harmony.

The reposado aging brings the trifecta into focus. Golden in color, it presents a nose where all three elements begin their dance – fresh agave still leads, oak adds its voice with vanilla and butterscotch, while time starts to meld everything together. The balance is already impressive, with no element overwhelming the others. On the palate, this reposado delivers the trifecta in development. Honey and light caramel from oak complement rather than mask the agave, while time has smoothed any rough edges.

What makes Trifecta Reposado special is its representation of evolution. This is the trifecta finding its rhythm, each element learning to work with the others. Like a team coming together, the whole is becoming greater than the sum of its parts. The finish shows this harmony, with agave, oak, and the influence of time creating a smooth, balanced conclusion. Perfect for those who appreciate that greatness often lies in the journey, Trifecta Reposado offers the middle chapter of a success story. This is the trifecta taking shape.
