Hi all,

First let me preface this be saying I realize there is no guarantee on times as this is nature after all and there are numerous variables involved.

What is an approximate timeline for brix development in red grapes such as Cab Sauv in the central California valley?

I'm particularly interested in when approximately 8 brix is reached (for potential adjustment to spray schedule). Does 8 brix typically happen 2 weeks, 4 weeks, ?, after veraison?

Is there a good chart or timeline out there that shows when we can typically expect certain brix levels?

Thanks.
