Maybe it's me but I think those are still too green for harvest.

Those babies look fine to me, but a bit young.
I'm jealous. We're having a super-cold summer out here in the Pacific Northwest. I might not even get a harvest out of my vines. I have no cones at all still and my crowns are 10+ years old and typically very productive.

Looks kinda dark to me... other than that I honestly do not see anything wrong. Perhaps a little young?
