    " This Albariño was a lovely aromatic white wine that had a lot of citrus aroma. It was a rich golden straw color, that really shone in the glass. I smelled lemons, lime leaves, and a touch of earth. I tasted a burst of citrus flavors, like grown up lemonade, with a twist of lemon rind, followed by an interesting hazelnut character. Because it is 100% stainless steel fermented, you don't see any oaky or toasted notes like you would in many other California whites. The nutty flavors are a component of the wine itself. "

2005 Bokisch Vineyards Albariño
  "This wine puts the adult in adulterated.  Honey gold in color, the Bokisch Albarino had considerably more depth than its Spanish counterpart. It's rounder and richer and more laden with peach, apricot and a hint of caramel. It's dry, with sufficient acidity to balance the fruit. More importantly, it retains that mystical, paradoxical thing I love about Albarino - it's a wine that's both light and silky."

2004 Bokisch Vineyards Albariño
  94 Points
 "Medium-bodied dry white wine; medium pale greenish yellow. Aromas of peach, apricot with flavor that draw on the same profile. Exotic, fleshy-textured, and luscious fruit. Dead-on correct for the varietal; I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't drinking a Spanish albarino."

" 2004 Bokisch Lodi Albarino ($16) This aromatic, flinty wine has more weight than most Albarinos and a hint of sweetness that provides a full mouthfeel. The lime, Meyer lemon and slight chalk flavors are long, and supported by crisp acidity. "

"Like a good, unoaked Sauvignon Blanc, this wine is very dry and high in acids, with citrus, apricot and mineral flavors that make you think of oysters. It's a very good wine, and showcases the enormous possibilities of this variety in California."

"Absolutely true to varietal, with a crisp mouth feel, good acidity and delicate aromas of pear with just a twist of citrus for garnish. Terrific food wine, especially with seafood."

"White peach, tropical fruit and a bit of lime make this exotic wine fascinating. The texture is rich and the wine works with rich fish dishes..."

2002 Bokisch Vineyards Albariño
 

- 88 Points
"This Spanish variety, rare in California, is distinctive. It's full-bodied, with a thick texture and dense weight that carry rich, almost syrupy, flavors of peaches and apricots. But brilliant acidity keeps it all lively, and it's fully dry."

"... Of particular fascination is the 2002 Bokisch  Vineyards Albariño ($16); one of the handful of wines in the U.S. made from this Spanish grape. The white wines made from Spanish grown Albariño tend to combine flowery, flinty fragrances with a citrusy dryness, and Bokisch's rendition pretty much hits the mark, with the addition of an apricot pit fruitiness and soft, easy  finish..."
