Proof that 'Reserve' doesn't mean 'Really Good'

Decent price, decent wine.  Carménère is thought of as "the other Merlot", and in this case, it may as well been.  To be honest, I don't really remember anything about it.  Not because I drank the whole bottle in one sitting (I did not!), but it just didn't have anything to say.  I wouldn't kick it out of bed, but I probably wouldn't buy it again.
