Fuzion Malbec Shiraz (2009)
$7.75 at the LCBO
Crying is the last thing you’ll be doing when you try the Fuzion Malbec Shiraz from Argentina. When this wine’s predecessor was released, it briefly became the top selling wine at the LCBO. A $20 wine with a $7.75 price tag, this Shiraz is peppery with an oaky finish. Some might also taste dark fruits.
I’m the first to admit Shiraz isn’t for everyone – I’m not the biggest fan of the sometimes harsh, peppery finish (the lousy house wine at Pauper’s Pub is a Shiraz). Fuzion is different. Especially for the price, you cannot go wrong. Fuzion also makes a fantastic rose and white, which should also make it into your wine box the next time you’re at the store.
Not needing to be chilled, this wine is great for any social occasion. A failsafe beverage, buy a case of Fuzion to reduce the pesky Friday night runs to the LCBO before it closes. Eva Perón has nothing on this!
