We flew into Reno and drove to Yosemite a few years ago, so we took 395 as far south as Lee Vining. Obviously we took the time to drive around Tahoe. Took a steamboat cruise out on the lake as well. Other than that, the country was rugged and beautiful, but the one part that really stood out, that I wish now I'd taken a little time to explore, was Mono Lake. That looked really cool. But we'd been in the car for several hours at that point and wanted to get to Yosemite.
I don't know if or how far you want to venture into Yosemite, but at the very least you should at least head up to Tioga Pass. That area was spectacular, although it did pale compared to Yosemite Valley.
I have no experience with anything south of Lee Vining, but I'm sure it will be beautiful.
