The husband-wife team of Julia and Alex Alvarez-Perez have immediately established themselves as among the very best winegrowers in the Finger Lakes with their Usonia Wines project. This Blaufränkisch, which clocks in at a pleasing and moderate 11% alcohol, receives the gentle, hands-off treatment we find so appealing in Usonia's initial efforts. It's fresher and fruitier than their 2020 effort, which is entirely consistent with the '21 vintage .
