The following is a recipe for an excellent blueberry wine. I think that you
should be able to substitute raspberries directly.

1.7 lbs. Frozen blueberries
1 gal Water
1.5 cups Concord juice
3.19 lbs. Sugar
3.5 tsp. Acid blend
1 tsp. / gal. DAP
1 tsp. / gal. K2S2O5 (on each racking)
1 packet Montrachet yeast
12 gm. / gal. French Oak chips

Crush the fruit in primary; add 1 gallon hot tap water, 1.5 cups Concord
juice, let cool to 85ºF (30ºC), add DAP, add sugar to 1.100, stir, adjust
acid to .60, stir, add K2S2O5, let sit for 7 hours, sprinkle yeast; place on
heating pad, cover loosely. Stir daily for five days. Strain and rack into
carboy, top up with water, and attach airlock. Rack in three weeks, and
every three months for one year. Bottle. Let age for at least one year.
