Review: Woop Woop Cabernet Sauvignon

South Eastern Australia, 2006 $8-10
Are you one of those people that buys wine because of the name or the label? Wine snobs can't stand those people, while I say, first impressions are everything, right? Well, I have to admit, I try not to buy wine because it has a great name, as the name is usually better than the wine, but Woop Woop was a pleasant surprise. It is a great fruit filled wine, extremely smooth, yet with enough acidity to pair well with your Saturday night BBQ. The fruit flavors are a smoky-blackberry and black currant, it's very round mid-mouth, and finishes with a nice smoke and spice taste. Reminds me of a California Cab.

Bottom Line: Buy it for the name and the label! And you'll get a great wine, too.
