Cabernet is loosely used as a short for either or both the black grape varieties Cabernet Franc or Cabernet Sauvignon. In general, Cabernet is more likely to be Cabernet Sauvignon because it grows well all over the world

Cabernet Franc tends to be lighter in colour and tannins.

Shiraz is the most widely planted wine grape in Australia but is in fact the same grape as Syrah in France. The two versions of wines taste quite differently though. Shiraz tends to be sweeter and riper. They are different just like the oranges in China would taste differently to those from The States even with the same species.

Cabernet Shiraz or Shiraz Cabernet is called depending which is the dominant grape variety. I think the former must have a higher proportion. I myself am not too good with New World wines.

Actually when it comes to tastes, it becomes very complicated. There are so many factors affecting the tastes of wines. So you better take the names only as a guideline.

The following is very personal. To me there is no such thing as LEARNING how to taste wines. It is just a matter of how to frame the tastes in words. Tastes are abstract.

My attitude is to drink a lot different ones, memorize in your own mind and have a lot of concentration.

Hope that helps.
