This purveyor in Cali makes pretty decent domestically produced olive oils:

as does this one:
http://www.lodestarfarms.com/
Both places offer tasting rooms and tours of the facilities and sell different flavors and grades of their oils. They are both located in Northern Central California.
Regarding Spanish Olive Oil, to me, they have the most depth in flavor. Part of the reason for the distinction in taste is partly because of the olives they use, and partly because of their climate. A lot of the olives are grown in and around the Pyrenees
This one is my favorite:
