To press or ferment on skins

Picked #150 of Pinot Noir on Sunday, crushed and destemmed. Have cold soaked on skins for 4 days now and have to decide whether to press tomorrow or begin fermentation on skins. If it was any other red I wouldn't ask and just ferment on skins, but Pinot........



Would appreciate any opinions.



Thanks

Pinot Noir should be fermented on the skins, just like any other red - except moreso.
