Merlot 101

Can anyone recommend a good cabernet or merlot to have at a dinner?

I am having friends over for dinner this weekend. Can anyone recommend a good cabernet or merlot that is of quality yet won't break my wallet?

1. Black Opal is excellent
2. Clos DuBois Merlot ... a good wine for the price Can'a Wine is also good. You can get it at BevMo
3. Yellowtail is cheap and good and you dont get that headache that cheap wine gives you
