Why the name CRU9? A playful twist on the French wine term ‘cru’, translated as “growth”, and Faythe – the 9th and youngest child – her evolution. Craft California wines on a mission. Faythe’s love of wine drew her to the California vineyards. The 9th child’s passion for serving people, and being an advocate for their success, laid the foundation for the CRU9 brand. CRU9 sponsors and gives to House of Hope, Dorothy’s House, and Alternatives Pregnancy Center. CRU9 meticulously sources beautiful fruit from Sonoma and Napa Valley to make into wines that Vintner, Faythe, and the team love to make, drink, and share. CRU9 wines are liquid liaisons, sparking conversations, relationships, and awareness. You can order online and know that your purchase is helping families thrive and advocating for survivors of human trafficking, domestic violence, and homelessness.
