Chateau Changyu-Castel 2003 Chardonnay (China)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Toasted oak and candy on the nose lead into flavors of butterscotch and vanilla in this appraochable but rather simple Chardonnay. There's a leanness to the wine but the finish is good. Try with salmon or cream-based dishes.

China Silk NV Marco Polo White Wine (China)
- Online Exclusive
- $7
This Chardonnay-Riesling blend has faint hints of banana and white fruits leading to more of the same in the mouth. Dry, with an almost tannic feel and a short finish of peach.

Chateau Changyu-Castel 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (China)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Earthy herbs and smoked sausage on the nose of this Cab are followed by elegant flavors of cinnamon spice and plum. The wine has decent structure and a lovely deep color, but there's a hint of bitterness that is tough to throw your arms around. Though not a complex wine, it has character.

Chateau Changyu-Castel 1995 Cabernet Gernischt (China)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
Appetizing smoked meat, pepper and berries on the nose of this Chinese Cabernet relative are varietally-correct, but on the palate, the wine turns a little bitter and there's a thinness that suggests that aging may be a problem. Pair it with red meat or stew to round it out.
