Water very early morn about 5am.
Did not see any insects, just these brown spots.
On the top the spots are raised, underneath they are concave.
Not really close to the grapes at this moment.
It is getting worse though slowly.
My first thoughts were that they are Galls but when I looked gall up they were raised and yours didn't look raised.
Now you say they are raised so that might be what they are.
The gall itself is the plant’s response to the irritation. It’s not unlike the bump you get when an insect feeds on you, except the leaf gall is not going to go away
As unsightly as they are, the best thing to do is just let them be. Since the damage occurred before the gall formed, treatment is rarely recommended.

Thank you.
Good to know, if it starts to get really bad I will have to try and figure out what kind of insect is causing the damage and take appropriate action.
The only time I have seen galls was years ago on a friend's trees.
I was young and didn't even ask what was wrong with the trees. My friends were unconcerned.
It can be caused by other things damaging the leaves.
If you see insects you might use a diluted soap spray though if they were my trees like that article said ... treatment is rarely recommended.
