Comment on Visiting Gimenez Mendez in Uruguay by Matthew Dobelobach

Very interesting article on Gimine Mendez. Why were they the only Uruguayan bodega to receive scores on their wines? I have tasted these wines and several others you reviewed while in Punta del Este on vacation last summer. I agree that Uruguayan wines are greatly undervalued and many of them are very good, but I do not think Giminez Mendez would be at the top of my list. Their wines appeared far too “manipulated” and all I tasted was expensive new oak, which can be purchased by anyone. I appreciated wines from other bodegas, who placed terroir above French Oak–bodegas like Marichal and Pizzorno just to name a couple.

I just took a few wine classes in California, being from France I was surrounded by wine conversations and I personally never cared for wine much. My husband is American and loves wine, funny but true. Now that I know more about wine, I strongly don’t think much of any Malbec, it for the masses that want as someday said a starting wine, is very easy drinking for my taste, so the more you know wine the more you want complexity, Carmernere is very, very complex

I think the acidity is more likely to be the result of the tannins found in the fruit skins and stems. I would bet they are not removing the stems and skins when they prepare their “must”. I am not sure what effect growing fruit at higher altitudes has on acidity. Something to research. Thanks for the article

Preferred the Carminere to the Malbec. This is an excellent wine both smooth with a rich complex taste!

i think carmenere is more complex and taste better than a malbec, actually chilean wines always taste better than the argentinian ones, just for instance chile have better malbecs than argentina, i think thats the bottom line.
