Sound mislabeled. If tasty then I would save seeds too!

I don't see a red tomato in that pic? That is the same color as a ripe sungold or sunsugar!?

I think you are looking for Esterina rather than Enstrina unless this is just a variety I am unfamiliar with. But Esterina is also yellow and a favorite of mine. I got my seeds from Fedco a couple of years ago. Anyway despite being clearly the wrong variety how do these taste?
