Non kit mist wine

[Kampo]

Thinking of trying a non kit mist style wine since wife loves them but I think for what they are I could prolly reproduce something better for cheaper.

Her favorite is a black raspberry merlot, done semisweet (bit over half fpac was added during primary)

Thinking a possible recipe could be something like:
10 cans welches Concord grape
Sugar to 1.072
6lb of frozen mixed berry during primary
5 gallons

Then make an fpac out of another 6lb of mixed berry to add after wine is stabilized. Then clear.

Thoughts?

Thinking of something similar for a peach wine since she loves peaches as well

That will NOT be a Raspberry Merlot, nor will it taste like it.

It may be good, it may even be better than the raspberry merlot, but it will not ever be the same.

Oh I know it won't be the same. Not looking to clone just looking for the style I guess.

That sounds delish to me!

Then you are good to go, just remember...if SHE likes raspberry merlot, then centuries of man-experience says to MAKE raspberry merlot.

Happy wife, happy life!
