Founded in 1979, Prager Winery & Port Works is one of Napa Valley’s most distinctive wineries, dedicated almost exclusively to Port-style wines at a time when few California producers focused on the category. The “Royal Escort” bottling is sourced from the historic Paladini Vineyard, where old-vine Petite Sirah thrives in Napa Valley’s warm climate, producing fruit with the concentration and structure needed for long-lived fortified wines. Prager’s traditional approach to fortification and extended barrel aging emphasizes richness and complexity while preserving the vineyard’s dark fruit intensity, making Royal Escort one of California’s benchmark Port-style wines.
