Short answers a Yes, absolutely and for sure.

Most of the characteristics of a particular yeast are imparted in the early
stages of fermentation.

There are times when more than one yeast is used. An example being when you
want a really dry wine, you might start out with the yeast that gives you
the primary taste you're after. Then you might use a champagne yeast in an
attempt to ferment as much of the sugars as possible. The end result being
both the flavour and dryness that your're after.
