Sure!

I did a Cru Specialty Coffee dessert wine, which is a three-gallon kit. You have to pre-order them by 8/20 to get in the fall.
Cru Specialty Coffee Dessert Wine (homebrewing.org)

In terms of process:
-I added 4 tablespoons espresso powder to the ferment.
-I used 4 tablespoons heavy toast oak spirals/cubes in ferment
-Topped up with tawny port
-Racked to my bottling bucket, then added 1.5 cups of brandy to fortify
-Bottled into 375ml bottles
These don't benefit from aging that much. so you'll want to use the clarifying agents in the kit.
I started my Cru Coffee Dessert Wine today. I plan to use Heather’s recipe (mostly). A healthy 1.119 SG and two packs of EC1118 yeast. I did use the bentonite. I didn’t have any oak chips so added some wine tannin to the ferment along with the 4 tbsp of ground coffee.

Sounds great!
