+1 on what Chuck wrote. Stain is what you need to make it darker.

For my recent kitchen cabinet project, I used Minwax Red Sedona on Cherry. I applied it very wet and made sure there were no streaks. Then I let it dry as opposed to wiping it off unlike what the instructions read. The downside of this is the long dry time. I let it dry for 2 weeks because I used a water based polyurethane. But it did give a dark stain.
