I think the authors were making a comment, based on the pull-out highlight that CdRs were "tasting more like 'bad merlot'".
I believe they were trying to make the point that many of the producers---and especially the volume/profit driven producers operating in the "bargain" price range under $10---were simply dumbing down the wines to appeal to a broader market, and thereby changing the essential nature of the wine style. In other words, making CdR, almost literally, "the next Merlot".
