Books on wine "styling"

As a first year wine maker, I haven't been able to find any books on the more subtle aspects of wine making. I have several of the "how to make wine at home" books and a couple UC Davis-type $100+ wine chemistry books, I haven't really found much between them. A thorough review of fermentation regimes, picking ripe and ultra-ripe fruit, the effects of different types of oak, fast vs. slow primary/secondary fermentations, maximizing color, the impact of oxygenization on various grapes, etc., etc.

It seems what is out there is largely independent of varietal and style.

Have I overlooked something?

You might try Cox's "From Vines to Wines" or Duncan and Acton's book, I think the title is "Progressive Winemaking". Both are good books to have for different reasons.
