i also have a pinot noir coming in on Monday any tips from those who have done this before the guy i bought it from said the acids where already adjusted.

Your ph yes should already be adjusted and most likely it is already sulfited. Is it innoculated already with yeast. If not get some.

Let the juice warm up a bit and add pectic enzyme. 3-4 drops per gallon. Let it be for 12-24 hours aside from an occasional stir.

Add your nutrients and yeast. Ferment to dry. There is a tutorial on how to ferment your wine. Go to Home>Tutorials

I have a Regina Petite Syrah and Merlot fermenting as we speak. Just bottled a Pinot Noir from last year.

Treat that Pinot Noir gently; it's my favorite, also. Good luck!
