Brix at Veraison

[lawrstin]

What Brix should I expect at veraison?

I would guestimate about 8-9 brix. What kind of grapes are these?

These are Oklahoman grown Cabernet Sauvignon (start laughing now). A small sample showed 15 brix. I got to have at least 17!

I guessed about 13-15 with those,unless they had been Concord (and then yes about 9). Let them ripen to more than 17- don't rush them.

I don't grow cab, but those look like they need some good time yet. A few weeks even.

Grape man, Spaniel. Thanks I appreciate the encouragement.
