La Carraia 1999 Fobiano Red (Umbria)

  1. $35
This Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon blend has aromas of currants, tar and treebark. The flavors are of juicy blackberries touched with a bit of char. There is an even balance and a smooth finish for a well-made Bordeaux blend.  — C.S.  (2/1/2003)

La Carraia 2009 Poggio Calvelli White (Orvieto Classico Superiore)

  1. $16
Poggio Calvelli opens with thick aromas of ripe fruit and apricot. However, the mouthfeel is thinner and less intense with an easy, but crisp fruity feel.  — M.L.  (3/1/2012)

La Carraia 2001 Fobiano Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Umbria)

  1. $40
Fully oaked, with red fruit as well as a strong hint of canned pea or green bean. Simple cherry, plum and raspberry flavors set up a snappy, acidic finish. Seems a touch backward as it condenses and crystallizes on the finish. Imported by Winebow.  — M.S.  (7/1/2005)

La Carraia 2003 White (Orvieto Classico)

  1. $9
Apple and citrus aromas are standard, while the palate of the same fruits plus some almond is decent even if it fails to stun. Finishes with clean flavors and moderate length. Watery but acceptable.  — M.S.  (7/1/2005)
