To investigate a suspicious death at a winery, the team tries to get at the new owner through his wine collection.
Kristen Knox, whose father was a laborer in a wine field until dying of a heart attack while in the field. She was offered a $1 million settlement, on the condition that she sign a non-disclosure agreement, which prompts her to seek the team's help.
Frank Madigan, who has a history of worker fatalities in his fields.
This episode is set in the Oregon wine country. Following on the ascendance of the California wine industry, Oregon began to rebuild its wine industry in the late 70s.

Many of the labor practices shown are reflective of those documented in Bronco's vineyards, where a pregnant teenaged migrant farm worker died of dehydration in 2008.
•When he sees his new computer equipment, Hardison whispers, "My precious...", a reference to the name the character Gollum gives a gold ring in J. R. R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings".
•An eagle-eyed viewer who knows viticulture can spot several errors in the vineyards. The episode was filmed mid-summer, roughly three months (depending on grape variety) before harvest. The vines were still fairly freshly pruned, and the actual grapes would have been quite immature at that time; the vines used appeared to be too young to yield a u...
