I wonder how much control the company has over "Jazz"?  Sunworld has bred their own grape varieties and even ones that have been long out of patent are still under their control.  So much so they are now starting to use DNA testing to find growers who have the varieties without a Sunworld contract.

Unfortunately all of us will have to wait until the variety is no longer 
under patent before it can be obtained for backyard growers.
