I’ve made 23 brix Cab and struggled with the taste profile, I’d hold out if you can. I think PS is more forgiving, but I would try to hold off as well. The problem with the open berries is that they are bacteria factories and it would be better not to introduce them into your wine. I would clip them off before destemming or toss the cluster all together. I’d also be cautious to spray after version, as you may end up with sulfur in your must.
