As the two families battle for control over the lucrative wine industry in California's Napa Valley, secrets and conspiracies abound.

Elena Ewing, a close ally of Angela Channing, is determined to push Lance Cumson out of the company board, but her plan is not as easy as she hopes. Lance, Angela's nephew, is a major figurehead in Falcon Crest Vineyards and will not be easily pushed aside. Elena promotes her scheme, colluding with Richard, who is still angry about Angela's past rejection, to pressure Lance into giving over his shares in the vineyard.

Meanwhile, Lance has his own ideas about how to advance the company. Along with his wife Melissa, he wants to create a new label of wine that's competitively priced. This puts him at odds with Angela, who believes in premium prices for the Falcon Crest products.
