Should I add oak to my Vintners Reserve Pinot Noir, and if do how much should I add?

Some oak, not a lot, in Pinot is well for some people. Add the oak after clearing starts. Put 3/4 cup of cubes/chips in; taste for oak flavor every 3 weeks and remove it when it is right; add more if not.

Does the Vintner's Reserve Pinot Noir not come with oak? Or are you looking to make it with different oak?

I'm considering making this kit for my next wine.
