One of the great things about winemaking is there is no set recipe. All the theory in the world can only get you so far. You have have a feeling for what you are doing and the outcomes that can result. Experience counts for a lot and you learn new things with each vintage you do. .
Tannin in grapes and wine is one of the cornerstones of great red wine. Its a hard topic to delve in-depth in but worth a try in order to put a little foundation behind what you are tasting next time.

Heres a interesting article from Wines and Vines about tannins and their behaviour in wine. Warning- moderate winegeek content. Read it here.

Also worth checking out is Jamie Goodes article on Tannins on his Wine Anorak website. Read it here. The writing is very accessible but the Geekrating is moderate to high.
