Véraison Status of Our Red Varieties

About 10 days ago, I blogged about Cabernet Sauvignon at Véraison. We were surprised that our Cabernet Sauvignon began turning color. We have Cabernet Sauvignon ENTAV clone 412.
Ten days later, this is how about 50% of the Cabernet Sauvignon look. We tested some berries for the Brix and they ranged any where from 11-17 Brix! You can be sure that we dropped our nets over these little beauties:
While we were looking at the Cabernet Sauvignon, we saw that the Cabernet Franc was now in véraison! It is interesting to us that véraison for the Cabernet Franc occurred after the Cabernet Sauvignon, but we'll see if the Cabernet Franc catches up to the Cabernet Sauvignon.
