Texas Hill Country peaches

Texas Hill Country peaches are supposed to be the best in the state. This is the area around Fredericksburg. They have deep sandy loam soils and about 30 inches rain a year. Some are lightly irrigated but they're mostly grown dryland. Quality should be great, right?

Cost is $30 for 14 peaches shipped in. A friend gave me some. $30 per half bushel pick your own. Unfortunately taste was about all they lacked at 11.5 brix.

My question is how could they be that bad? Is it all just variety? This isn't the early peaches where one might excuse 11.5 brix. These should be the best of the summer. Not too much rain, 1.2 inches the last 5 wks.
