BVV, your flavor description of Wes is very close to my perception of the tomato as well. Found Iraqi Heart to be similar too. These tomatoes from start to finish are full old fashioned tomato taste and very good. I made pasta sauce from a mix of them last night and it was excellent. So, both still very good fresh by all accounts, but they really shined over pasta and would both make a great salsa. Wes is also a very heavy producer and is pumping out tons of fruit 2 to 3 times more than anything else. Would grow these again just for the above reasons, definite winners. Cut fruit of Wes below.
