Thought you should know... 
Yup, I thought the same thing- how good could it be with that "get my attention label"?  I did it due diligence and found their mission statement... "Sexy Wine Bomb is a labor of love on behalf of a small but hardcore gang of winery renegades in and around Sonoma County, hell-bent on a mission to wrestle wine away from the hands of the way-too-serious."  Vindicated.

Overall:
"Blends have more fun!" Sexy Wine Bomb is simple; it's dry with a vibrant fruit-forward start and leaves you with a subtle-but-noticeable complimenting spice on the back end.  Drinkable in volume, smooth, refined flavors that will go well with almost any meal.  My honest assessment is I could really picture this being the house wine somewhere (you'd dig it enough to ask what it was).


In my humbled opinion this wine works perfectly for Valentine's Day.  You got the label that makes for great innuendo and the wine itself is solid- It really is the total package.  Look, Valentine's Day is on a Monday this year.  That really sucks but the wine doesn't have to.  So set the mood, ride the cliche of the hokey label and know you picked a winner.

Remember, let it air out for a few minutes.  It's been in the bottle for like 4 years!
