Any tomato has the capability of producing one or more fruit that hits the pinnacle for that variety. What I keep looking for it the variety that doesn't produce even one tomato that rates less than 6.0.
I agree with your "gold standards" but have to add Purple Haze it's one of the few tomatoes that I eat right there in the garden.
