Vintage Northwest Riesling Columbia Valley 2020

Very pale straw hue with scant aromas of "oily" tropical fruit, and not much of it.

Palate--Flabby, structure, subdued flavors of some tropical fruit but seriously lacking.

I paid $5.50 after discounts and sale of an otherwise price tag of of only $7.  Is it drinkable?  Yes.  But... if you aren't familiar with Riesling and how glorious it can be, you want to avoid this effort.  Washington state can do very nice Riesling but this is not one of them. And the fact that it is over 4 years old doesn't help its cause.
