Cakebread and Chalk Hill both know what they want for their wine, so unless you're in a major metro or CA. they don't come cheap. As an aside, the folks at Cakebread are very pleasant; along with Sequoia Grove, they're about the most friendly folks on Highway 29 if you're in Napa for tasting. I tend to stay on the Silverado Trail side of the valley, but always try to make it over there.If you want to avoid the curse of over-oaked CA chard, the choices are expanding. A lot of folks are moving to a more French style with more acidity, less oak, etc. A few that haven't caught on yet (and thus are still relatively cheap): Porter Creek (Russian River), Clos Pegase (but catching on now, used to be known mainly for Merlot), and some of the Mendocino wines, like Navarro. Still, it's getting a lot better out there, the only trouble being that Kistler, Rochioli, Marcassin, etc. are a bit dear for my pocket book. Most of the wines coming out of the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast are really quite exceptional.
Cheers.
