Not unless the seeds were from the fruit of a rootstock variety... which
would be very very very unlikely since the vast majority of commercial rootstocks are male plants which do not set fruit. I also get seedlings growing from the area where I rinse out my crusher/stemmer. These are all seedlings of whatever variety I happened to be making wine with, be it Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, etc. Grapevines are interesting in that they do not "breed true", that is, that planting a seed from a Cabernet Sauvignon cluster will very likely give you something different than Cabernet Sauvignon in the resulting seedling. Many people, myself included, have gotten into grape variety breeding after learning about this very interesting aspect of this plant. CHEERS!
