Tee,
Sounds like you had a "hot fermentation" Most likely all is fine, stabilize and let it sit. I had a pinot noir blow through in just 3.5 days once. Personally with pinot I would rather have a slow fermentation. Next time watch your temps, also that vigorous overflow you had should have been a clue. Then just move it to a cooler location or as some here have done place the carboy in a cool ice water bath and surround with towels that droop into the water. The water will wick up and help cool the must.
