Yes, you read that right, it’s aged to perfection Petite Sirah from the famed Bedrock Vineyard. Today’s deal saves you over $XX a bottle on the 2014 Filomena Bedrock Vineyard Petite Sirah.
Built to age, the wine is fermented 50% whole cluster (with indigenous yeast) with a long 30 day maceration. It then spent 3 years in oak barrels plus it’s had another 9 years in bottle to let everything settle in, harmonize and smooth out. Just a tiny 65 cases were produced.
This is no expense spared winemaking that you simply cannot normally find for less then $50 a bottle. It comes from the owner/winemaker of Filomena, Luke Nio. He was cellar master for Bedrock Wine Co for 7 years which is how he sourced the fruit for this wine. We’ll let him explain how this came to be from the release letter for this wine in 2024:
This wine is very special. During my first year as Master of the Cellar at Bedrock, just as harvest was kicking into gear, Morgan and Chris, the head honchos of Bedrock, walked up to me, listed 5 vineyards and 5 grape varieties, and simply said, “Just pick one,” (with no context). As soon as I heard “Bedrock Petite Sirah,” that was all I needed to hear. It didn’t matter what the ultimate question was, that was my answer. Imagine my shock when they both replied, “Awesome, you have one ton of Bedrock Petite Sirah, make it however you’d like.”
I certainly didn’t know it yet, but this was the foundation of Filomena and my career as a Winemaker. It was this early stage of experimentation that brought a smile to my face and spring to my step in the cellar. I was no longer just a harvest intern or a Cellar Master, I was a Winemaker.
I decided to go off-the-wall from the jump and fermented indigenously with 50% whole cluster. I know that seems like Filomena’s SOP nowadays, but adding stem tannin to a Petite Sirah ferment that already had plenty of tannin was a little crazy at first. To balance this decision, I let the ferment sit on the skins for over a month before pressing. This mellows and rounds the wine, allowing the tannins to link up, forming long polymer chains. This is the same process that tannins go through during bottle aging and is the main reason we have been waiting 10 years to release this wine!
Once pressed after its extended maceration, the wine aged in the very same puncheon it fermented in for three years. It was finally bottled in 2017 and I had begun to make other wines for what would eventually become Filomena Wine Co. We dropped this pallet of precious Petite Sirah in the darkest corner of the warehouse and did our best to just forget about it. Having tried several Petites from the 70s made at Freemark Abbey, I already knew the magic of old Petite Sirah and I had decided to let this wine slumber for as long as possible.
And here we are, at the 10 year anniversary of this wine and Filomena Wine Co. It is an exquisite wine, showing no visible signs in the glass of its already decade-long life. Deep garnet in color, spiced and sanguine on the nose, dark fruited and dynamic on the palate. While one might expect a Petite Sirah to have a finish that continues to deepen, this wine pulls a 180 and finishes with verve and vibrant red fruit.
I am so damn proud of this wine and I can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve. I hope you all enjoy drinking it as much as we enjoyed making it!
Normally priced at a reasonable $50 a bottle, today we’ve got it for much less! But with only 65 cases produced you’ll have to act fast if you’d like to try some…
For the next day you can get 3 bottles of the 2014 Filomena Bedrock Vineyard Petite Sirah for just $XX.95 ($XX.XX/bottle). That’s a discount of XX% saving you over $XX a bottle!

And now on to our review:
The 2014 Filomena Bedrock Vineyard Petite Sirah begins with a strong, enticing aroma loaded with dark berry fruits plus plenty of baking spice notes, vanilla, mint, cedar and more. It’s really harmonious in the way that only a wine with some age on it can be. Needless to say, it’s a fantastic start.
The wine tastes big, rich and juicy and features similar notes to the nose, loaded with depth and flavor. Still fresh and featuring plenty of fruit plus lots of structure, it’s easy to see why they waited so long to release this. It’s singing now though, and still has a long life ahead of it.
It ends dry, juicy, quite grippy and very long on the satisfying finish and it was just as good on day 2. We’ll put this at the high end of our 9 Taste Rating at 92-93 points.
Cheers,
Jon

“I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)”
