I haven't had any Oliver wines, but I've had a lot of wine from the Mid-west.
In general they aren't as complex as wines from more famous regions, but that doesn't mean there's not some good things.
If you like dry red, I'd recommend you drive around to the local wineries and look for a Norton, also called Cynthiana. All of the best dry reds in the mid-west I've had come from this grape.

One in particular, Mt. Pleasant just outside of St. Louis, makes one that is simply outstanding wine. Taste profile of blue fruits with some spice and a quite sturdy body. Next time I'm in St. Louis I'll get a bottle and post tasting notes.

I've also had some good vintage ports from the area.
