Crowley Wines, Willamette Valley Chardonnay Helen, 2023

Tyson Crowley separated the two clones and blocks in his 2021 Four Winds blend into separate bottlings, dubbed Helen and Phoebe, and the results were so good that he's bottled these sister Chardonnays ever since. They're both excellent, with classic notes of wet stone and petrichor as well as lemon zest and that perfect balance of linear and luxurious that characterizes the best Willamette Valley Chardonnays. Helen is the more salty and mineral of the two.
