I like just about anything Kendall Jackson makes. Their merlot is rich and smoky in taste - it just might be to your liking, too. Yellowtail also has a nice merlot.

You may want to browse through [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=461205) for other value wine suggestions.

Not much new to offer here that wasn’t discussed in that thread or here. Perrin Reserve, Folie a Deux Menage a Trois, Las Rocas Garnacha, Marques de Caceras Rioja (and Rioja Rose), Bogle Petit Sirah are all repeat guests to my wine rack. Incidentally, the 2005 Yellowtail Reserve Shiraz mentioned earlier made #72 in Wine Spectator’s Top Exciting Wines of 2007 (although I have yet to try it).
