Help! How to remove wine stain from cedar?

Well, it was bound to happen but I didn't think it would be so soon. We replaced our deck floor less than a week ago, and the weather hasn't been cooperating for us to seal it yet. Yesterday, bare cedar planks met a half-glass of red wine.

We took water and baking soda to it immediately, and diluted the wine pretty well, but as we had a house full of company we tried to minimize the situation as much as possible. This morning, I see that there's still a large dark stain; not as deeply stained as if the wine had sat in place, but larger than the original spill due to our trying to wash it away.

What can I use to bleach out the stain that won't harm the cedar?
