Why add something that is by nature oxidized?
I believe the reason for the raisins is to increase tannins, that is what you get from raisins. I would rather use tannins. I started adding tannins after fermentation and I am really liking the improved mouthfeel.

Amarone is a much different type of wine than, say a Merlot or Cab Sauv. I would not want to taste anything like a raisin taste in either of the later. If you want to add something to your high end kit with skins, read the notes on what the final tastes should be and add something that might complement those, it will seldom be raisins, there is a reason that kit manufacturers no longer include raisins with kits. (Except for the previously noted Amarone kits).
