Welcome to our first edition of Chinas Top Online Wines! I am thrilled
with the results of the first blind tasting of 250 of the most popular
wines sold online in China in 2017. All the wines were tasted blind and
grouped by price and style. Overall, the wines showed much better
than I expected and I found many wines that I would happily recom-
mend to family and friends. Thus this project was born, out of a simple
curiosity to find out the true quality of wines sold online in China, the
fastest growing sales platform for wine. Bravo to all the highly rated
wines, the wineries and most importantly, the dedicated people be-
hind the wines!

 I. Top Rated Wines
From Champagne to New Zealand Pinot Noir and Sicilian Syrah, there
are some fantastic wines above 91 points available online. These four
wines offer an amazing wine experience and really represent the epit-
ome of their style. Any wine that I rate above 90 points is highly recom-
mended and these wines definitely earned their high marks through
their balance, depth, inimitable style and ability to reflect their unique
terroir.

Muna Road Vineyard Pinot 92
Noir, Martinborough, New
Zealand
Grape Variety: Pinot Noir

Color: Red

Alcohol Level: 13.5%

Jeannies tasting note:

A beautiful Pinot Noir
with lovely depth of fla-
vors which starts out with
an intoxicating bouquet:
crushed violets, jasmine
and wild strawberries. The
palate is silky yet persistent
with freshness and lifted
flavors of cherries and
strawberries. The savory
edge is there too, coming
through with an herbal,
grippy finish. Perfect to
enjoy now.

Tuscany, Italy
Grape Variety: Bordeaux Blend
Color: Red
Alcohol Level: 14.5%

Jeannies tasting note:

There is sweetness and
generosity in this delicious
Bordeaux blend from Tus-
cany. Expect to find clas-
sic cassis, cedarbox and
tobacco flavors as well as
firm tannins, a freshness
and lift in the core of this
delicious wine. The finish
is fairly long and the wine
should keep and evolve
well for at least another 6-8
years. Bordeaux in style but
distinctively Italian.

4. 2011 Planeta Syrah Sicilia

Grape Variety: Syrah

Color: Red
Alcohol Level: 14.5%

Jeannies tasting note:

A delicious Syrah that has
a fabulous nose of black
pepper, nutmeg and cloves
along with roasted meat
and dark berry fruit. This
wine is fully mature,
showing complex,
bottled-aged character-
isticss which reveals how
well Syrah can perform in
Sicily. A beautifully crafted,
spicy red.
