The genesis of George Lucas’ vision for Skywalker Vineyards traces back to his childhood growing up surrounded by the vast vineyards of California’s Central Valley. Decades later, Lucas gave life to his vision in the creation of Skywalker Vineyards on the grounds of Skywalker Ranch in West Marin.

A short growing season and fluctuating climate characterized by dramatic temperature swings, ocean winds and fog present some of the most challenging growing conditions found anywhere in

California. Through years of tireless dedication to harnessing nature and nurturing the best possible fruit come wines of great depth and distinction. And now, from Skywalker Vineyards we bring you

2011 VIANDANTE DEL CIELO PINOT NOIR: MARIN COUNTY ESTATE

Expresses all the aromas of our windswept, hillside site: dark berries and forest floor, clove and all-

spice. On the palate, the red and blue fruits of cherries, cranberries and dried currants are narrowed by

the white pepper and cedar notes of the cooler 2011 vintage. Dense, long, lively; the 2011 Viandante

Del Cielo offers great pleasure and perspective into the hillside winegrowing in one of the coolest sites

in all of California.
