Default Mountain Merit?

As my interests have been changing a bit I've gotten curious about some of the current hybrid varieties out there as a starting point for some breeding experiments. I was looking at some articles on Dr. Randy Gardner's work and see the descriptions of Mountain Merit, a large fruited determinate type, which has the Ph-2 and Ph-3 genes combined plus resistance to verticillium wilt, races 1, 2, and 3 of fusarium wilt, root knot nematodes, and TSWV.

The press on it goes back several years and I saw Bejo Seeds listed as the licensee, however they don't currently list it in their catalog.

I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knew any more about it? The Mountain Magic and Plum Regal varieties that Dr. Gardner developed are available, but are both small fruited types.
