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.

"The 2023 Chardonnay Helen is remarkably pretty, mixing chamomile with white peaches, lemon sorbet and a hint of spice. Pure and crisp, it displays citrus-tinged orchard fruits with a slight herbal inflection that adds contrast. The finish is clean, mineral intense yet fresh." —Eric Guido

More about Crowley Wines

From Oregon’s Willamette Valley, Crowley Wines is producing some of the finest domestic Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays we know. Since its founding in 2005, the emphasis at Crowley has been terroir-focused and Burgundy-influenced Pinots and Chardonnays from some of Oregon’s top sites; this means high elevation, cool climate and a diverse range of soil types (not difficult in the Willamette, where volcanic basalt yields to marine sediment and silt). The work in the vines and in the cellar is minimal.

Prior to establishing Crowley wines, Tyson Crowley worked alongside John Paul at another Willamette winery, Cameron. There, he learned to work according to the season, the climate and the individual vine in front of him, all to preserve the purity of the fruit and the terroir.
