I have a lot of cherry wine on hand from last year, but the cherries were on sale at the store, so I bought a few bags. These were California Cherries, and not too sweet.
2015 Cherry Wine Recipe
11 lb Sweet Cherries (stemmed, and sliced, but with pits)
1.5 gal water
6 lb of sugar (!)
1 t yeast energizer
1 t pectic enzyme
yeast - Red Star Cravee
This made 10 L of wine which is aging well.
The flavor was better without heating the cherries, but I probably had a lower yield of juice.
Here is the wine label for this batch:
