So we finally found time to rack and bottle one of our Blackberry Wine experiments from last year's harvest, a 2012 Blackberry, that was slightly oaked. We were aiming for a full bodied wine, and used 90 pounds of blackberries for a 15 gallon batch - which gave us pretty intense flavors, colors and the full bodied taste we were after. The wine is slightly sweet, with just a light oak flavor, barely enough to tell, but blending nicely with the fruitiness that the blackberries contribute.
