I used " Pristien " this year for that mode of action and won't use anything else now.

Worked great!

Here is a good resource that not only explains a little about the disease but also offers some suggestions for products to use for control:

This is also another good resource:

Remember there are different strains of Downy Mildew so the product that worked well last year may or may not work well this year.
