Francesca Bernard ran away from the family vineyard because she was
determined to live a different life--one without the grapes and her
secrets. But when Enrico, the foreman, calls her home because her
father's dementia is making it impossible for him to manage the
vineyard, she and her son return and discover the vineyard and her
father in dire need. She assumes her father's role and deals with
the complexities of running the vineyard, his aging, and Enrico's
advances. The grapes are struggling. Money is tight. Her father is
diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Her teenage son experiments with drugs,
and Enrico is still in love with her. Through sweat and hard work,
Francesca rediscovers that the rhythms of the vineyard are deeply
restorative. She becomes certain of one thing: she wants to
resurrect the vineyard and prove everyone wrong. She is willing to
do just about anything to prove she can be a world-class
vintner--even if that means sleeping with the competition. Her
relationship with the bad boy of the Sonoma Valley sparks jealously
in Enrico and he abandons her and the besieged vineyard. Francesca
is left to fend for herself, but is determined to uncover the
secret of the Zinfandel wine that once made the vineyard famous.
This wine will allow her to become a renowned vintner, but the
secret is buried with her mother. How is Francesca able to save the
vineyard and uncover the secret of the Zinfandel, deal with the
past, and come to terms with her true love?
