No. At least I wouldn't call it that from a novice point of view.
Is it a horizontal? (Two wines, same winery, same vintage, different vineyards.)

Wines Produced:
Syrah
Zinfandel
Late Harvest Zinfandel
Pinot Gris
Port
Would this be a first time appearance on WW? Can't find them in the search engine.
*edit* I just saw ThunderThighs post above about the winery being on WW previously. Just can't find it I guess *edit*

The Zinfandel Grappa bottle would look mighty cute (and tasty) in a Woot pic with the Port!

Dusi has only recent started making their own wine. They used to only sell their grapes to the likes of Turley, among others. Very well-known Zin vineyard in Paso, and I'm intrigued to try their own wines from their own vineyard.

My Grandfather guided me through the process from recollection of the days when his family ran the original “Dusi Winery” back in the 50’s. I learned, from him, the REAL Italian way to make wine, which happened to be a light variation of today’s California styles wines.
And she (the daughter, who now owns the vineyard, I believe) is how old now? I believe they have only sold their wines publicly for a relatively small number of years. I could, of course, be wrong.

Very likely. I'm too young in age and wine memory to know. I'm also rather frustrated that I'm very likely in again. SWMBO loves the Dusi vineyard. My third purchase in less than 26... I may have a problem.

Only a good sort of problem
At least wine is a consumable. If you bought 3 sets of beanie babies every 26 hours, it would be another story.
