Devil Proof is a cult California Malbec brand created by first-generation winemaker Jesse Katz, inspired by his time in Argentina and a life-changing journey to Cuba with his photographer father, Andy Katz. During this trip, Andy captured the photograph Devil Proof, featuring a spirited Cuban woman who now graces each bottle, symbolizing the brand's ethos: “Live well, drink well, and the devil can’t get you.” Jesse spent over a decade seeking vineyard sites that could rival Argentina’s best, culminating in two single-vineyard Malbecs from Alexander Valley’s Farrow Ranch and Rockpile Ridge, both meticulously crafted and dry-farmed to reflect California’s unique terroir. Devil Proof, California’s highest-rated Malbec by top critics, exemplifies world-class winemaking through elegant, richly layered wines that celebrate resilience and artistry.
