Here is Vinoland's Cabernet sauvignon (clone 4) in bloom. The Syrah vines are at about the same stage/percentage through bloom as the Cab.
All four varieties are flowering at the same time; the Orange muscat, Pinot Grigio, Syrah and Cabernet sauvignon. I don't think that I have known that to ever happen before. Are two varieties late? Are two varieties early? Only Mother Nature knows.

I am currently in the same stage in my family vineyard but I have seem to run into a situation where all of my vintner friends are stumped. For some reason my flowering has turned brown and seems to have consumed my what would be new grapes. Any ideas? I have image Is can share also.
Unknown: Welcome to Vinsanity, wish it was under happier circumstances.
Nutrient deficiency? Water stress? Have basal leaves dropped? How healthy do the meristems seem? Farming can be heartbreaking.
I worry about my single vine, I need to chat to it more.
Thud: Chat on, Chuck.
It's wonderful to see your photos again. I'm sorry for being such a stranger around these parts. :)
Phlegmmy: Thank you :)
