August 1, 2023 - Coming into it’s drinking window and starting to show some nice blue fruits. The tannins have softened some and it is balancing out. Could go another couple of years.

December 6, 2022 - I've tried several of vintages of Flying B and although they were always fine, they never struck me as my style/preference. This bottle, however, was different. Still modern, but possessing a subtle elegance and lift that I haven't seen in others. Very enjoyable.

January 21, 2022 - Really good Cab that has a bit of a tannic edge to it. I will wait on the next one but the fruit shows nice dark sides to it.

December 2, 2018 - Named after Drew Bledsoe's grandfather's Flying B ranch in Ellensburg, rich red fruit with superb red-dirt kind of minerality like that I associate with aged Monte Bello's.
