Proprietors Ed Mascarin and Mia Mascarin-Oven founded this small family winery in Sonoma's Dry Creek Valley, naming it for the 32 points of a mariner's compass in a nod to exploration and discovery. Winemaker Matt Taylor, whose resume spans Domaine Dujac and Araujo, crafts roughly 2,500 cases a year sourced from West Sonoma Coast, Russian River Valley, Napa Valley, and Dry Creek Valley vineyards.
