I've made the Green Apple Riesling kit before with great success, and I've got the Raspberry Merlot at home waiting for water and fermenter right now.

I guess my question is: since the base wine is a red, and reds take so long to mature when dry, would it be a good idea to give the Merlot portion of the kit extra time to mature and develop before stabilizing and adding the F-pack, or just follow the instructions as I did with the Riesling?

Don't know. I made it and added half the f-pack to primary fermentation. It tasted like a raspberry flavored sangria.

never made one but i would say follow the instructions first and see what you get, you may want to get some raspberry something to backsweeten with if necessary
 
Sweet fruity. Next time I will add more of the F-pack to the primary. I like the fruit taste but not as sweet. Nice by the pool summer sipper as is.
 
I've made this one and added a pound of sugar to up the alcohol. Found it very acceptable.
