Anyone know why this would happen to grapes? I believe they’re getting plenty of water. Thx in advance!

Are they getting enough water and nutrients? I see your in the same neck of the woods as @NorCal. Perhaps he can chime in here.
 
The first words out of my mouth was shatter as well. How’s the canopy cover? Are the grapes exposed to the afternoon sun?
Well I planted them under the partial shade of a tree- so yes they have partial access to the afternoon sun. They get partial/dappled sunlight from the morning to noon/1 o'clock, and fairly direct sunlight from 1-ish until sundown.
 
I think it is shatter also. a heavy rain when cluster is flowering will cause problems with pollination and subsequently cluster develop as yours.
Thank you! Currently looking into Shatter- it's a busy weekend though!
