Smells like some mixture of cheap red wine and berries. The bottle and label look ritzy, deceptively so, I think. The flavor starts out ok, it does have some blackberry and spice flavors as the label promises. There are a lot of off notes as well though. The one that puts me off is a tart, almost citrusy flavor that dominates the more it sits in your mouth and through the finish. I don’t have anything against citrus but a Cab shouldn’t taste like that.
