Looks like CA20 is the better route.
I'd suggest looking at it with Google Maps. Zoom in enough I see lots of curves. Terrain mode gives an idea of the ups and downs. Streetview shows the curves, though the road does not look particularly narrow. There are some good views, since this is drier part of the state than the forests closer to the coast.

Originally constructed in the early 1920s, it is one of the steepest and most difficult to drive of any California state highway. Indeed, until recently it was called the "crookedest road in California". Vehicles more than 39 feet (12 m) in length are banned from the Hopland Grade, due to its many tight hairpin turns and curves.
